Did my water just break? đ¤đŚ Itâs not always a dramatic movie-style gush! It can be a slow trickle or a noticeable pop followed by fluid leakage. If youâre unsure, try lying down for 15 minutesâif more fluid comes out when you stand, it might be time to call your provider! đ
Personal story: With my second child, my labor began with my water breaking. I was sound asleep, woke up feeling wet, and my mattress was soaked! I was so shockedâespecially when I learned I didnât have to rush to the hospital right away. My contractions hadnât started yet, so I had the chance to hang out, eat some cereal, and watch I Love Lucy. đ
Make sure you talk to your provider about their philosophy on what to do when your water breaks. Itâs always good to know your options! ⨠Need guidance through your birth journey? Iâm here to help!
