When this happens, it means your amniotic sac has ruptured and labour is imminent or already underway.

Every woman experiences this differently. Some describe feeling a pop inside them, and then a gush of water. Where as other describe it as a trickle of water. Some may have a constant damp feeling where you have to change your maternity pad all the time, others are completely saturated and need to change all of their clothes and even mop the floor.

Your waters are a clear liquid that do not smell of urine. If you think your waters have broken, be sure to contact your midwife as soon as possible.
