when the water breaks....  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Okay, how can I tell if this is water or something else? I know it isn't pee. How do I make more come out if it IS in fact the water? I know sometimes the baby's head will stop the leaking or it will be a small tear and will heal.... I DON'T want it to heal though! (in a whiny voice) I was due 2 days ago and my mom will have to leave in 2 weeks so there goes my help!!!

With the 1st pregnancy it didn't break until well into labor, like during transition phase, I don't remember much about it at all.

Apparently you can test with litmus paper. But I don't know if it is an acid or a base. I've heard you can get it in the aquarium section of a pet store.

I wasn't sure if my water was broken with my 3rd (it was), and for a while with this baby I wasn't sure if I was peeing after each contraction or if it was amniotic fluid. Turned out to be pee.
