Waters breaking...??

This is a pretty stupid question, but could your waters break and you not notice it? E.g. in the shower, when there is a lot of water about anyway?

I had a show this morning and since then -nothing. I am worried that loads of significant things went on when I was in the shower and I didn't notice... But maybe I am an idiot.

Once your waters break, they continue to leak so even if the main "gush" happened in the shower and you didn't notice, you would have noticed trickling since iyswim ?

I think everyone is different but from what I've heard they can either go with a bit of a bang (mind did and I would not have been able to miss it!) Or they can trickle quite slowly, in which case I guess you could miss them starting in the shower but there would still be a leak, as it were, after you got out the shower!

I also think it's quite normal to have a show but then not much happen for a while, but if you're in doubt ring the MW's its what theyire there for!!

Good luck by the way!!!

not sure but when i had my dd i just stood up and i could feel it 'in' there and when i squeezed my muscles it dribbled out...... a bit like if you have a bath and some water gets stuck up there.... sorry if tmi!!!! But then it continued to dribble all day without me having much control over it!!!
