Waters leaking/breaking? 40+3

[babybready]

I’m not sure if my waters are leaking or if I’m peeing myself 🙈 (sorry tmi) Woke up at 5am to pee walked into the bathroom and coughed and a gush of water soaked my underwear and the floor. Cleaned it up but it didn’t smell like pee. Then an hour later went for a pee again and when I stood up walking away from the toilet another gush happened all over the floor 🙈 again didn’t smell like pee. I haven’t had any bladder issues during pregnancy and this didn’t feel like peeing just gushes of water. What do I do now? Have a pad on that feels slightly wet but no more gushes so far. Do I wait for contractions or call triage? FTM.

Ring. They will advise you what to do and how long to leave it before you have to go in. Good luck!

Leave the pad on and call them.

Call maternity or whoever your notes say to call.
A 24h clock starts when your waters go. If you haven't gone into labour by then you will be booked for an induction due to the risk of infection.
That sounds like how my waters broke I had my baby in my arms 12h later.

Where shoes you don't care about I got big gushes when I walked more than a few steps. My shoes were soaked by the time I made it from the car to triage.

Also the gushing can stop if baby moves into a position that blocks the hole don't use it stopping as a sign they haven't gone.

Hopefully you have called now and labour is starting for you. Good luck OP baby is nearly here 😊
