if your waters go they usually literally pop and there is no doubting it. however you can sometimes have a slow trickle. is usually suggested that you wear a pad and if the waters are clear you know its poss your waters. however it could just be mucus or urine which would be noticable on the pad. its common to have lots of discharge and a sensation of wetting in late pregnacy as its your body getting ready for babies arrival and there is loads of pressure on your bladder too.

if your worried call your mw for advice. good ;luck xxx

When my waters actually broke, I did get a pop. But they did also leak slightly a few weeks before, put a maternity pad in your knickers, and after two hours take it out and smell. Your waters smell like a chemical, almost like swimming pool water!! Its very difficult when you don't know whats going on. But believe me, trust in your body. YOU WILL KNOW WHEN ITS HAPPENING!!!!

Good luck xxx
