I think my bag of water is leaking?

Question

the last 2 times i went pee and was done i kept trickling....when i held my muscles in though it kind of stopped. but now i have bad period cramps and my leg is all cramped up.....stomach isnt tightening though... what do you guys think? should i lay down and see if contractions start?

Answer 1

Sometimes the water can break and instead of a big gush like on the movies, it can be similar to what you are experiencing.  If it is a misty white, it is highly likely your water broke?  (it happened to me).  If contractions are getting stronger and closer together (like 5 minutes)  I would get to hospital.  

Answer 2

it sounds like it might be leaking if so you can either wait it out at home or go to the hospital. with a broken water bag they will keep you. congrats and good luck

Answer 3

if it is constant trickling then go to the hospital...otherwise just lay down and relax, your baby will be here soon :)

Answer 4

It is common for amniotic fluid to leak towards the end of your pregnancy. This is often caused by your baby changing positioning in the womb. Your fluid is constantly being replenished by the protein and water that you eat and drink. Best wishes, G

Answer 5

if you can do a kegel and it stops trickling then its just urine, next time you have to urinate catch some on a pad and see if its colorless and odorless if it is the its amniotic fluid and that means it was your water, if it has a yellow tinge or smells like urine then its urine!!!!

Answer 6

If your water is leaking, tightening your muscles will not stop it at all.  The only way to know for sure is to go to the hospital to get checked (best option). It could be that your water happened to spot leaking for a moment while you were holding your muscles, or it could be urine.  Smell it, if there is no oder it means your water broke/leaking.  If it smells like urine, that happens to us all.  A woman's water can break/leak as early as the 3rd month without any bleeding or contractions.  If you still don't know, go to the hospital.

One thing I noticed when it happened to me was the temp. of the fluid.  Have you ever gone swimming and then gone inside to use the restroom and your urine is "hot" or warmer than usual?  That is what I felt.

When your water breaks it isn't necessarily a constant tinkle because the babies head could be blocking your opening. That happened with me with my second, I dripped for like 2 seconds and then it stopped completely, the rest of my water came out as I was pushing, weird I know but i guess it's common. You should go to the DR's and get checked because if your water did the break, you have to deliver within 24 hours because of the risk of infection for the baby. They can tell you 2 things: either, your water broke, come back later or your water didn't break. It's better to know rather then sit there and wonder.

Good Luck

EDIT: Your water broke it sounds like, go on in to the DR"s and have your baby!!!!

just call the labor and delivery department at your hospital and tell them what's going on. they'll more than likley have you come in to be checked.

the same thing happened to my friend. her water broke while she was going to the bathroom. she thought she was done peeing, but it kept coming out. so she called her doctor, headed to the hospital, and found out that her water had broke.
