did my water break?

[mom2ariana]

i felt really wet..so i went to the bathroom, peed, and checked my underwear and it was soaked. i was pretty surprised...i smelled it and it smelled sweet. ( i could smell discharge too but the overwhelming smell was like sugary water ) ...so i was fairly sure my water was broken, but i put on another pair of underwear, and since then i've barely had anything. just a few drops here and there that could be discharge/pee.
is it possible for your water to break and then leak THAT slowly? i mean ive always heard to call if you have to change your underwear several times..i haven't had to change this second pair. but the first time seemed SO much like water, idk what else it could have been. im just so confused.

It is possible that your water broke.....and baby just isn't low enough to add the pressure to the bag for more to leak out. However here is my story...maybe it will help.

With both my middle DS and youngest DS, I got up to use the bathroom, went pee and went to lay back down. I was so big that I had to lay on my back, and then roll over to my side LOL, when I rolled over to my side I had a HUGE gush.....with my middle DS I went to the ER, they tested it and it came back negative. BUT.....I did however go into labor a few hours later the next day. With my youngest DS is happened in the wee morning, probably about 6am. Got up...pee'd, went back to bed, and had the same gush when I rolled over. I didn't feel like going to the ER to be told I pee'd myself, so I just went back to bed. I woke up at 9am and was in the beginning stages of labor, by 4pm I was admitted to L&D and dilated to 4cm.

My doc said the only explanation behind it is that I have a secondary bag of water....kind of like taking a water balloon and twisting it, to make 2 balls of water....one bag had the baby in it and the other bag does not....the bag that didn't have the baby in it was the one that ruptured.

So....this could be the same case that your going through, it may be possible that your just 24/48 hours or less into going into active labor!

i believe they did a swab on me and determined i had lost water...if my memory is correct i believe they ended up breaking my water all the way to try to put me in labor but that didnt work so they induced me....

you never know but its always "always" better to be safe then sorry

[blueeyedtabbycat]

they can do a swab test. I believe its called a fern test. The swab your vajayjay and then can tell you if its amnio fluid or not. I would go in to be on the safe side. The test only takes a few minutes and better safe than sorry. Besides if it isnt at least you know and arent left wondering:~) Good luck

lol they have strips that detects even small amounts of amni fluid they are like little yellow ones and they turn dark purple if it is your water! I hope it is!!
