I think my water broke but I was sent home told they didn't

jeswaz · December 2014

I was sitting on the toilet waiting to pass a bm ... I had no desire to pee. Then all of a sudden I hear water im such a dork i thought the toilet in the back was leaking I didn't think it was me at all then I stood up and there was liquid running down my legs. And the toilet water was still clear. This was at 12:30 am. Throughout the day I had been having bh and after that episode I had lots more until I was able to fall asleep. This morning a few more bh so I went in. Only for them not to check to see if it was indeed my waters and be sent home. I'm not dilated at either.

I'm irritated they didn't check and worried as I've read women had waters break and not have for into labor, or didn't go in and had infections etc. I'm still early I understand that but I had a similar incident where again I KNEW my water had broken they told me it didn't and tried to send me home only difference I was in active labor.

I'm thinking of calling another hospital & getting a second look. oh and on the monitor it showed I was having contractions but my nurse acted like she didn't see it happening.

I don't like my dr or his nurses they say they won't run tests because waste of time and money when I have insurance that pays for all that sh*t !!

I would either get a second opinion or demand they check again...slow leaks happen and two of my sisters had water break and no labour start on its own. Therefore both were induced after a day or so.

Get a second opinion, and as soon as you can change doctors do so. You should be feel comfortable with your doctor (and their staff) and they should never make you feel like they don't want to listen to you.

Thank you. I'm on the verge of second opinion I just switched drs and from the gate I didn't like him. He just doesn't seem genuinely interested in anything I say. And doesn't check crap because he's an "expert"

Lie down for a half hour. If, when you get up, there is fluid leaking or gushing out, then your waters have broken. If nothing then they haven't. It might save yourself a hospital trip and some drama.

I've had my waters break before with no noticeable leaking. And told it was pee only to have my son 7 hours later.

It was my doctor. He didn't even check neither did the nurse. I should have spoke up. I was really irritated. I have an appt on Monday

So you called the office and they told you to come in and then just sent you home? Or did you go to labor and delivery?

I'm pretty sure the test they do is like a litmus strip, that would take only a few seconds. I'm not sure why they did not check you if you were there but I'd get a second opinion, especially given your additional info.
