Could This Be My Water Breaking?

YEAH YEAH....... It's baby time..... Yes sounds like it is for sure what it is and in 36 hours or less you will be holding that beautiful baby in your arms..... So this morning get up, take a nic long hot shower. Eat a good breakfast. Get your bags ready and head off. If you want to go to the clinic first, then so be it, but they are just going to send you right over to the hospital. Get whoever you need to see after the pets as you will not be home for a couple of days, but DO NOT CALL everyone else. It will be a long day and theyy will spend the rest of the day calling you at the hospital. LOL! You are one of the 8% whose water breaks before going into active labor and this is okay. What you are describing is the "Norm". Most women get a constant trickle. When your water breakse, the baby's head blocks it from "gushing". The only women who get the gushes are women with small babies, women carrying multiples, women whose baby has not engaged into the pelvis, women whose baby is crooked in the womb or women who have premature deliveries. So your body is doing the right thing. Congratulations.... Have a safe labor and delivery experience and here is to a healthy baby!

I'm gonna say YES your water broke!! LOL YEAH :-) mine started slowly and i was in denial - finished cleaning etc. then 2 hrs later was going to try to go the Market, but it was coming out ALOT then so i had no choice but to tell DH and head to the hospital. Once your water breaks there is no "protection" sealing the baby in and your more open for infections ! I would go !! GOOD LUCK CONGRATULATIONS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh, my guess is it is your water. I've never had vaginal discharge leak through my jeans. And contractions come in all different forms. I'll bet your Dr will tell you to go to the hospital.

Get in as soon as you possibly can. You could also have a slow leak of your amniotic fluid. You need to have that checked out ASAP.

Your water has broken. Call your doctor you're having a baby today (or tonight). Let them know as soon as the clinic opens or sooner if contractions begin to get hard. Some people don't have the "normal" contractions - which get progressively harder, shorter interval contractions - they just go straight to transition and then birth.

What's today's date? October 28, 2010. This could be your baby's date of birth!

That sounds exactly how my water broke with my first. It's not always that Hollywood gush of fluid. Go get it checked out because if your water has broken, they'll want to monitor you for infection.
Good luck!

Sounds like it to me...mine broke and was barely a trickle...and not all the time. I had a appointment the following morning, so I decided to wait it out and see if labor started...because looking back I know it was my waters leaking, at the time I wasn't sure.

I started leaking at noon...I went into labor by 8pm...my daughter was here by 2am...would have been earlier but we had to wait on the doctor.

It sounds like it. I had that happen. I woke up and I was just a little damp down there. I called the dr. She didnt think I was leaking because I was just barely damp, but checked and I was leaking.

Congratulations!!!

I think it's your water breaking. When my water broke it wasn't a huge gush or anything. I felt like I had to go to the bathroom, and when I peed .... it's like I just kept "peeing" even though I wasn't. It was a slow trickle. Oh also I called my Drs office to see what they said and I got a recording that said "If you think your water may have broken go to the hospital" lol sure enough when I got there I peed in a cup and I guess they could test it to see if there was amniotic fluid and there was.

My only experience with is a huge gush to the point of I knew it was my water breaking. I can't tell you that it isn't your water. I agree call the clinic and get in asap.

I see you've already found out it isn't , but wanted to add my .02 anyways. With my second daughter I had the same exact experience...not a huge gush (like what happened w/ my first daughter) but a slight trickle that got worse when I stood up or walked around. I went in to get checked and my water had indeed broken and my little princess was born only a few hours later. So it can happen that way! Good luck!!

Go get yourself checked. Your water has probably broken and if it has, they will most likely admit you to the hospital unless you want to deliver at home. Good luck!

Sounds like your water may have broke.

I know I'm answering this late, but I still think your water is leaking.

That is crazy that it was amniotic fluid. Did they tell you what they thought it was? I would have thought for sure you were going to go into labor. Anyway isn't all so exciting. I loved that time. Good luck with everything.

Sounds like you are leaking amniotic fluid and it can be a dangerous situation for baby if it gets too low- go to your OB ... contractions or not.

Best wishes.

I agree- it sounds like your water has broke, that's what happened with me, my water had a "leak" in it and I was having very slight contractions- well once they hooked me up to the internal monitor, they were spiking up to 9-10 but I wasn't feeling them until about 5 minutes before I felt like I had to push- it was a weird feeling- my body was just telling me to push- and the doctor came back and told me no way was I ready but sure enough, he checked and my daughters head was coming out! Sounds like you're going to have a baby today! Congrats!
