can ur waters leak rather than break?

[*noni*e*]

tmi - ive been wearing panty liners for ages now through the preg and yesterday i noticed something coming through onto my pants everything was just clear i didn't think much of it till this morning i woke up with a small patch on my pjs as well... its not alot deffinately not a gush and probably nothing lol but i was just wondering..

Yep definately, mine did for 2 1/2 days before I went into hospital to have it checked and then I was induced straight away. I would advise that you call your hospital and tell them about it. I was told that if I could soak a pad in a few hours to come in. If it is your waters it smells kind of sweet, a bit like sperm (sorry tmi!!). If it your waters they might like you to come in for observation. Good luck, how exciting!!!

hmmmm well i just changed my liner now so i will see how quick it soaks, i assume it will need to be less than a few hours coz its smaller than a pad... gosh all these things to think of haha i'm going quite insane lately!!!

Hi Nonie
Yes your waters can leak. But it could also be just an lncrease in CM. If the leak increases when you cough sneeze during BH then it is probably your waters. I woul suggest that you put a pad on and then when there is some fluid on the pad go to the hospital and they can check to see what the fluid is.

fingers crossed things are starting for you nonie! my waters began like that, and just started leaking more and more....

good luck!

Mine also "leaked out" but I was already leaking urine, the difference was the quantity and my waters had a slight pink tint.

goodluck

I leaked with my first DD. They think it's because the baby's head can come down a bit & block it when you stand or something. My DH thought I wet the Bed coz when it started it wasn't very much! It stayed like that the whole labour. Stopping & starting. Ring & see if you should go in to be checked out coz if they have broken it can be easy to get an infection. If labour doesn't start within 24 hours of the waters breaking some docs will talk about induction too. So yeah, You should get checked out just to be safe.
