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.

how would they know if i had had some leakage earlier? i wonder if i brought that pair of underwear (gross i know) that they would be able to tell. i mean its dry now so idk lol.

i would call the doc to be safe...at least let them examine you to make sure everything is ok...you never know they may end up breaking the rest of your water if that is what happened...

oh thats scary okay thanks!! i'm laying down now so maybe in about an hour i'll get up and see what happens. i'm really hoping something does!! but i hate taking trips to l&d for no reason..esp now i feel like i'll just get my hopes up if i go there and nothing happens. and im not close enough to my due date for them to decide to just keep me. so here's to praying for a slow leak that makes itself noticeable LOL.

I think you should law down and see if you have a change.. this same thing happened to me i thought it was nothing cause it didn't continue but a few days later i felt a gush while laying down and was having strong contractions so i knew it was real but my daughter and i ended up with a bad infection because i guess i had a slow leak. you should try laying down actually not walking because When you walk the babies head acts like a plug and keeps fluid from leaking if her head is Engaged but laying down you should get more fluid. also.. with my first i thought my water broke but it was urine and i found out i had a bladder infection even with no other symptoms! so.. be sure to keep an eye on things!

im going to call if i notice much more...i dont think it was pee. there was so much on my underwear that if it was pee i would have smelled it, unless my pee smells sweet lol. im hoping for the big gush when i stand up from bed...that would be nice. :)

awwww...maybe its possible your bladder was leaking...maybe the baby was pushing on it and it emptied...i know its so scary thinking this...i would still call your doc to make sure...

i remember when my water broke...i slept right through it..i remember waking up and calling the doc to tell them that i couldnt stop peeing my pants....my underwear would get wet everytime i put on a clean pair...turns out my water broke sometime over night and it was show time

best of luck to you...i know you are getting close to holding your little girl now :)
