Was masturbating and loads of water came out of me. I didn't orgasm so it can't have been squirt I'm currently 31 weeks pregnant could this have been my waters breaking. Please someone reply as I don't know what to do and don't really wanna call midwife and say I was masturbating and I think my waters have broke as it's embarrassing lol

You need to call your midwife right away. There is nothing embarrassing about masturbating. They won't even bat an eye.

Just call her and be honest. You're a grown up. It's not worth risking your unborn baby's life because you're embarrassed about masturbating. If your waters have gone you'll need monitoring.

You don’t have to tell your midwife you were masturbating if you don’t want to.
They test for waters breaking with a swab - so if you tell them you felt a big gush while you were lying down in bed then they’ll just test to see if it was your waters.

Call your midwife and tell her you had a fluid gush. You don't even have to mention masturbating.

If there's a chance your waters have gone, do not get in the bath! That's a great way to introduce infection that is a risk to you and baby. If you think your waters have gone you must get it checked if in any doubt. Once the waters have broken you are wide open to infection. You must go get checked.

Please don’t have a bath if you’re at all worried your waters have broken.

Absolutely go get checked but just to say, I'm also pregnant right now and I absolutely have squirted without orgasm before so it could have been squirt. Did you smell the fluid at all? When my waters with first broke they had a very very distinct smell of seamen
