I would go, my water broke, but never had any other labor signs, if you don't get baby out within 48 hrs of your water breaking it will suffocate :/ I had to have a c section after 32 hrs :/

Its best if you think its leaking go to the hospital cuz once it breaks they have 24 hrs to get the baby out to avoid the risk of infection. Also at the hospital they can check to see if it was your bag of waters...

I think it's supposed to be constant leaking if your water broke. Like I got told to sit on the toilet and try to stop it coming out and if I couldn't then it's my waters lol. I'd wait and see if anymore leaks out and if it does give the hospital a call :)

Well I had a little water come out but I'm not sure if it was my water ? That's why I ask cause I don't have any contraction or I don't feel different.

I think they can start anytime, before and after? Has your water broken?
