Just look for contractions, you'll know what they feel like once you get them, you usually can't miss them! Not everyones water breaks and there are instances where you may not realize, my moms broke and she still has no clue when and that was 15 years ago!

Mine broke when I was taking a bath.  NO DOUBT OF WHAT IT WAS.  It was like a fire hose was shooting water out of me.
