Could this be my Waters breaking?

Im 36+5 today and felt a bit damp down there and felt the urge to go to the toilet about 1:30. Once i got to the loo i started to wee then felt a gush and it seemed to carry on into a little trickle which i couldn't stop for a minute or so. It eventually stopped then i started with a bit of cramp for 10/15 mins.

I haven't had any leaking since so not sure if it was my waters as i'd assume they would continue to leak?

I had my first born at 36+3 and my waters were broken during labour so not sure what this should feel like and don't want to assume it was my waters if it was just a big wee..

Go to triage, nobody on here can tell you what it was.

A family member told me when you start google-ing “have my waters broken” it’s time to visit the midwife

Definitely could be! I wouldn't take the risk, if labour doesn't start soon it can be risky as no amniotic fluid protecting baby. I'd call your midwife or labour line. Good luck!

You need to phone up and get checked asap.

If your waters had broken, then surely this wouldn’t happen again as I’m pretty sure they can only break once?! That means it was just a big semi-continent wee - if so, then why would you need to go back either?
Did you have a scan to see how much fluid was in there?
