Did my water break?

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
So I'm just about 41 weeks - been having real contractions since about 2am. They picked up as I was out walking this afternoon and I lost a ton of mucous (didn't realize it could be that much!). Now I seem to be leaking more of a liquid. It's not coming out in gushes, I'm just leaking. Could that be amniotic fluid? My water didn't break until my DD was practically out for my first birth so I have no idea.

Could be! Esp if you're mostly upright, baby's head can act like a cork, which would mean no gushes. Or it could be a high leak.

Happy laboring!! Hope you're holding your sweet baby very soon.

Definetly sounds like it. When dd2's water broke it was more of a leak then the gush with dd1.
