when your water breaks...

What does it feel like? I've never experienced it on my own since I was induced with my last two children. During week 29 I lost my mucus plug. Week 33 exactly I went into false labor and had to have a shot to stop contractions. But I wasn't dialated or efaced at all. Tonight about 30 mins ago (week 33 & 4days) I was peeing and right as I finished my stomach made a odd bump. It wasn't my baby moving..it felt like as if I popped my knuckles or my back but just one pop. It didn't hurt but I heard the sound as much as I felt it. I wiped myself and stood up to see if I would leak anything...and it was nothing. Well I got directly into the shower and maybe 2-3 mins after beeing in there I swear I thought I was peeing on myself. I looked down but saw nothing. No pain.. no more noises. About 5 mins after that while I was finishing washing up I started cramping. It's been about 45 mins since the bump I felt in my stomach and nothing else has happened..she's moving fine though...should I be worried?

And ... I just realized this was from August... your water generally breaks in the last month when you have the baby, well while you're in labor

I hear that pop all the time, at first it would always creep me out, but now I'm used to it. Doctor said it wasn't anything to worry about. I'm 31 weeks btw

I would go to the hospital to make sure if your leeking they have to do something about it cuz you would be at risk for infection so I'd go if I were u just to be sure. When my water broke I was laying on the couch and it was like I was peeing myself but I wasn't cuz I couldn't control it but it was non stop and it was a lot!

For myself I was asleep and it woke me up. It felt like I had popped a water ballon. Not the noise but the popping feelings and then I got into the shower and I started leaking a steady amount. For my sister tho, hers popped and only a little water came out. It hasn't broken completely and at the hospital they had to pop it all the way.

I'm not leaking. Even now...I always heard it was a gush of liquid. I'm not sure if anything leaked in the shower. But I'm not now..

If you feel like your leaking fluid put a pad on. If you soak through it within a hour go to L&D. When my water broke it gushed out both times. And it was non stop... With my first I had contractions right away, my second I didnt have any contractions after my water broke...

I would go to the hospital to be 100% sure cause you could be leaking and if so they will need to admit you or fix it I've never had that happen to me so I'm not too sure just know what I would do good luck!
