water breaking

What does it feel like? Does it just happen? Does it feel like you have to pee, but can't control it?

Most people don't spontaneously break. If you do, it can be either a small trickle or a gush. Mine was like water gushing out every time I took a step. Kind of like when you are bleeding heavily on your period.

Its a quick flow of fluid youre not gonna be able to control. Its like a full bladder that just bursts while your sleep pretty much. Its warm as well like your pee. Some say it was will have a smell. Im not sure about that. I dont remember a smell. Thats pretty much how it feels though. Hope this helped ☺

Oops,   sorry to be confusing.  You can feel, it,  it's water leakage.  

But its not like a bladder leakage that you feel like you should be able to hold.

No,  it doesn't feel at ALL like you have to pee and can't control it.  That's what bladder leakage feels like,  and that's completely fine in late pregnancy.

Your water breaking is water out of nowhere, you can't feel it,   not like needing to pee.
