Why does your water break? How does it feel when your water breaks? It is a different experience for each and every mother.
In simple words when your water breaks, it means that your amniotic sac membrane has ruptured and your fluid will come out of the vagina.
Get ready for your labour if not already started. Here are the things to expect or what experience during water break:
Splash
It is exactly like a splash or gush of water. The leaking is uncontrollable. Don’t panic as it might feel like a flood between your legs.
It’s Clear And Odourless
The amniotic fluid is odourless and it is usually clear in colour. There might be streaks of blood along with it.
Painless
It is absolutely painless and you won’t feel any pressure. It is like someone has opened a water tap and has forgotten to close it. Also, you might hear a popping sound before the leak.
Leaking Urine
It might also feel like leaking urine. But, you can make out the difference easily as when the water breaks it doesn’t stop and you cannot control it like urination.
So, ladies head to your hospital when you feel or experience any of these.
