I am 36 weeks today.. just got out of the hospital with a kidney infection... tonight i noticed when i changed my underwear that they were alot more wet than normal! Can your water break just a little at a time or does it just have a big gush at one time?? I dont know if its pee or if it could be my water?? thanks

I had a hind-water leak, and that was a continuous trickle, no great gush. But it did stop after several hours, as the pressure of the waters was less.
If you were wetting yourself, you should be able to go to the toilet, wee, and stay dry for a little while. If you do that, and are wet again in a few minutes, even if just damp, get it checked out at the hospital where you plan to give birth (or contact your birthing service). If its nothing they will send you home (or let you know), but if its something, then your where you should be.
Don't worry if its a false alarm, they're used to that. Better safe than sorry.

It can be either a gush or a trickle, or anything in between. If you suspect your water has broken, you should go either to the dr, or the hospital, depending on what time it is. There is a test they can do. Once it has been determined that it's broken, you have to stay at the hospital b/c of risk for infection.

It could be your water. It can leak slowly or gush. You should go to the hospital and let them check you. It can be dangerous to continue to carry the baby for to long once your water has broken. Even leaking is considered breaking your water. Good Luck to you and baby. Go get checked out...they cando a simple test to tell if it is amniotic fluid or not. The leaking may or may not be constant.

It can break up high, which will cause a slow leak, or break down low, which would cause a gush. If it continues to leak out, then it's probably not pee... if is stops, I wouldn't worry too much. Your water may not break at all.

If it is your water, then every time you move, such as sitting down, standing up, take a step, a little bit more will squeeze out. Normally it happens in a gush, but it is also common for it to trickle out.

It is usually called a mucus plug. That goes before your water actually breaks, and yes you water can break slowly. You will have contractions too, thats how you will know if your in actual labor. God Luck, andstart timing the contractions!

Honey run to the hospital and tell them what just happen. They will test the water and tell you if its just urine or your water. If your are wetter than normal I would be at the hospital already.

your sac can spring a leak:) and be a constant leak. it would be pretty constant though. are you clothes staying wet? It could just be a leaky bladder. I have that problem too.
