Have my waters gone?

Got out the bath last night and was standing getting dried when some water came out of me. There was a lump of mucus-y stuff in amongst it too. There was a puddle about the size of a dinner plate so i thought it was quite a lot to be just bathwater.

Had some lower back pain yesterday and period-type cramps near constantly. I wasnt sure if my waters had broken, so i put a pad on and lay on the couch for an hour and nothing else came out, so i went to bed and have had nothing since. Didn't sleep too great due to SPD pain, but the cramps arent as bad now. My mum reckons i should phone the hospital anyway, but i'm not sure that there's anything to phone them about.

has anyone else had their waters break like this?

No harm in calling, but i think waters breaking are more continuous.

Sounds like you've had a 'show' where mucus plug comes away followed by some waters going to me.
Would definately give your midwife/hospital a call and let them know Smile

It might be but you can leak a fair bit of bathwater after getting out. No harm in calling especially as you are due anyway.
