waters breaking????
Hiya, I know this might sound a bit daft but I'm wondering if its possible for your waters to break without you realising? I'm 38 weeks pregnant and last night I had a really weird feeling down below, best way I can describe it was a popping feeling. Since then I've felt really damp down below, I noticed my knickers were a bit wet aswell. I'm just wondering if this could possibly be my waters breaking or if its just discharge or leaking urine? I've also been getting strong but irregular contractions, which I assume have been braxton hicks. Appreciate any help! Thanks x

def sounds like your waters to me as what you have just described is exactly what happened to me before i went into labour -best phone labour ward or midwfe to make sure tho x
i was sat on one of our bar stools and felt wet down below, i nipped to the loo thinking my pelvic floors had failed and changed my underwear, within 10 mins these were wet aswell so again i nipped loo and changed and put a pad on then resuming my spot on the bar stool i frantically rang my mum. i had been leaking water for several leaks but it was trickles here and there. well after getting off the phone to my mum i stood up and there was a mighty pop (actually made a noise too) followed by a gush, every step i took i gushed more, i had to make my way upstairs holding a towel between my legs lol. after about 30 mins it changed to a trickle.
