I'm not sure if my waters just broke...

So, slightly embarrassing but I'd just been for a pee, wiped, stood up and as I turned to flush had a small trickle of liquid run down my legs. (it was enough to run quite quickly and hit the floor)

Now I'm pretty sure it's not pee as I'd just emptied and wiped. The liquid was a very very pale yellow though, but no pee smell from what I can tell.

It was quite a small amount so I'm thinking stick a pad in and see if any more comes out over the next hour or so?

What was it like when your waters broke? With my first they were burst for me and it was like a water fall, gush of really warm water that soaked the place.

I'm 32 weeks.

Me too @Spanglebangle and @Mrsmummy90 - glad to know it wasn't just me that thought that!

I thought I had slightly wet myself that night, but it turned out it was my waters breaking and then they properly broke 10 hours later in the classic EastEnders style gush.

Good luck OP and my only tip is if something doesn't feel right make sure you get the support and advise you need to reassure yourself.

Mine were exactly the same. Got up in the morning. Had a wee. As I stood up small gush back in to the toilet. Nothing dramatic but enough to make me wonder. When in it to be checked and was indeed my waters ! Had baby 4 hours later!

I would want to be checked if I was you, especially because of your gestation x

Update : no more leaks, and a lot less discharge than usual too. Bump very active so much so I think baby has turned again as I think his head is back under my ribs. I guess it's just been one of those things or he has been playing on my bladder as the midwife said.
