I was induced with my son almost 3 years ago so i don't know what to watch for. but I'm goibg through all these and none are normal for me.
1. can't stop eating
2. can't get comfortable no matter how i sit or lay.
3. clear watery discharge that smells like pool water. (Haven't lost my plug. at least i don't think. idk what it looks like)
4 contractions
5 cramps

I'm surprised nobody has commented in here yet! Its 3am where I'm at i can't sleep sorry anyways how far apart are your contractions? You won't rely be able to tell if your water broke if you were in the shower or bath but the most important thing to tell by is your contractions none of the other stuff you named off are really signs of labor bcuz a lot of those are just common with pregnancy but if your having steady contractions 5 minutes or less apartthat last less than a minute each and they are coming consistently than yes go in immediately! Your water couldn't broke in the shower but i have no clue what it smells like I've only heard its very stinky but they have this strip thing they put inside you to see if has or not and the cramps could be milder contractions butstill count them touch your stomach if it's hard during your cramps they are contractions so go in once they are5 minutes or less apart! Good luck honey hope you get to meet your new little one soon keep me updated if you can!
