You will definitely know the difference it is a big gush has if a water balloon is breaking. Or it could leak and in which case it is a steady flow of water. Like the other ladies said sometimes it was break sometimes they will break it. But you will definitely know.
Its feel like a poping sensation.. if it completely ruptures. If it leakes idk feeling, mines have always gushed lol.
My water didn't break until I was 8cm and even then it was on accident when the nurse was checking my cervix. And I definitely knew the difference between Braxton hicks and the real deal. For me the real contractions took my breath away and hurt so bad I couldn't breathe in. I could only keep breathing out. Good luck! And if you can I would hold out on getting the epidural as long as possible, I started labor at 10pm and was dilated to 8 by 230 am that's when I got my epidural and it slowed me down so much i didn't dilate to 10 until 7am.
thr doc had to brack my water cause i was in labor how the doc told me i would know is you can fall asleep with braxton hicks it might be a lil hard but you fall asleep but when ur in labor every way is uncomfortable and you just cant sleep
