Since the early hours of this morning I have had several incidents of "trickling" when getting up to go to the toilet which I have no control of. I have smelt the waters and it doesn't smell like urine so I am assuming that my waters have broken??? Have gone through three pairs of knickers and two jogging bottoms today as a result!!!

Am now experiencing period like pains which seem to come and go around the bottom of my bump and do feel like they are tightening- are these contractions or not?

Are you supposed to phone the hospital as soon as your waters have broken??? I was told to contact them if labout had not started after 24 hours- don't want to phone and waste their time!
