you will know if your water breaks cause if it does yes it fells like your peeing in your pants but it don't stop,i had a car wreck with my 2nd child and at six months my water broke and it will come alot at a time then it will slake off a little but it won't completly stop untill you run out which you hold more than you think you would. and another thing NOT trying to be gross but it smells really bad like on clothes where it has dried a little bit it has a real strong amnonoia smell to it.

I was lying on the hospital bed when my water broke it felt like a warm big gush and then the nurse told me that my baby had poop in me..

Honestly - it feels like a huge gush of water that comes barraling out of your girly bits - that is when it breaks fully. It's very warm.
When my water was LEAKING though - it felt like I kept having a bad day holding my bladder. I kept having to go to the bathroom to wipe every 10 minutes, and honestly, the smell of it when it changes (if it leaks) smells musty in a way, kind of salty. It's thick but slimey at first (at least that it was I thought).

With me...i Had a show first...That mucus plug, and the next day my water broke. its a weird feeling cos you can feel the water coming out and naturally you try to keeo it in cos you dont want to mess every where, but you cant. no matter what you do, the water will come out and you cant stop it. when my water broke, it gushed out for almost 3 days. i was taken to the hospital and i had to keep drinking water and the doctor had to do a sonar to check that my son had enough water.i had to be induced cos i wasnt having any labour pains.

but the bottom line, when your water breaks, its a weird feeling cos you cant control it.

In my first labor the dr broke my water..But my second had other plans...

It was like 11 at night and I was laying on the couch and just a tiny bit of fluid came out..I jumped up and said to my husband..either my water just broke or I peed myself..I waited a little while to see if there was any leaking or anything because I assumed if itw as my water breaking more would come out because what did was so little..About two hours later my conractions started and my stupid self still didnt connect the two things lol..When i got to the hospital I was already 7cm and they asked me if i knew when my water broke because there was no fluid left at all...Crazy right? lol..

I'm worried though, what happens if it breaks while I'm at the grocery store or something?

It would be so embarrassing.

when my water broke it was scary because i did not know this would happen. it is very obvious you will notice the only thing that this means is that the baby is ready, go to the hospital as soon as possible don't be scared it will be okay. when this happens you just feel water coming down you're legs its just natural. it happened to me when i was standing in the restroom looking in the mirror then i just felt funny like if i was in my period but then i noticed i was all wet it was my water breaking so i went to the hospital as soon as possible. if you were worried about having sex when you are due in 9 days i don't think you should the baby is well covered in muscle tissue and there is no way to hurt him. well good luck hopefully i helped am sorry if i kinda didn't word all this correctly but remember relax and try not to stress it will hurt the baby so take it easy
hugzzz and congratulations for the beautiful baby you are about to have...

But what about the ammonia smell? What if someone slips in the puddle and injures themselves?

Also, I usually wear designer maternity wear, should I start wearing old sweatpants or does the fluid wash out easy?

I don't want to stain my pretty clothes ;_;

I felt what seemed to be a pop in my stomach like an elastic band being snapped before my water broke
