Question about water breaking

[kalisage]

What's it feel like right before your water breaks? (Not that mine has! Just curious)

With my first 2 pregnancies my water was broken by the MW, and with #3 dd was born in the caul - so question. When I'm having these BH contractions I have this kinda strange pressure sensation were it feels like pushing just a little would relieve it... Of course I'm not gonna but just wondering if it's more babe's head or my bag of water

I wish I could tell you, but I've had the same thing as you - mine has never broken on its own. If it were to break I think it would totally throw me off :P

Mine broke when I was in active labor (actually possibly in transition) and my contractions were right on top of each other. It was almost like a balloon bursting...I swear I heard a 'pop,' but I didn't really feel anything except relief of a whole lot of pressure.

I had PPROM with my last little one. I had absolutely no inklings it was going to happen other than some pelvic pressure for a few days ahead of time. But the kind of pelvic pressure I always have and his was the only time my water broke on its own.

The first time I was asleep and didn't feel anything. The second time it was a kick, a pop, and a big gush. I'm now anxiously awaiting this feeling!

Yea, I have a lot of pelvic pressure as it is. And this "feeling" only seems to have during a contrx/BH - was mostly just curious

With ds, my first sign of labor was my water breaking. I was laying in bed trying to decide if it was worth it to get up to pee the only 3 drops that would come out. All of a sudden I felt a little trickle. I thought I had peed the bed, but it kept steadily coming until my bed was soaked. I didn't feel anything unusual at all.

I was asleep too. I woke up to a little trickle. I thought I'd peed the bed!
