WHAT TO DO IF YOUR WATER BREAKS… Woohoo! That means you’ll be meeting your baby SO soon! But wait- you might be wondering did my water break for real or am I just peeing myself? And how can I tell if my water broke for sure? In this video, I talk about how to gauge whether it’s really your water breaking or pee and 3 things to note: the amount and color of the water breaking during pregnancy and the smell of water breaking during pregnancy. These things will help cue yourself and your care provider in about whether you’re really leaking amniotic fluid or not.
“But what if my water breaks before labor?” I’m so glad you asked, because in this video I explain several avenues and options mamas have water breaking before labor is the situation you’re facing. I help you answer what is a high leak in pregnancy, what to do if your water breaks, and whether it’s safe to wait for labor to begin if your water breaking before contractions occurs.
By the end of this video, you’ll have answers from “What happens when my water breaks?” to “If my water breaks when should I go to the hospital?” and so many more in between!

Okay Mamas, real talk: how many times do you get up every night to go pee?!?
We are 38 weeks and I am only getting up 1-3 times and mostly because I am waking up, anyways, and may as well.
Bridget Teyler 33 weeks here, at least 3 times 🤦♀️ But must say I do drink a lot of water so that is probably the reason.
Bridget Teyler I bet I didn’t go two hours at night without getting up to pee near the end 😭
I'm 30 weeks (First time preg, 28 years old ) and I only wake up once to go pee.. whole pregnancy has been very smooth, cant complain - very blessed :) planning home birth with midwife and birth pool
Just once. I avoid taking fluids towards bed time.
But I'm so over being pregnant. Making 42weeks this Wednesday but no signs of labour😢😢😢 yet i wanted to labor naturally(no induction)
My water just broke and I went straight to watch this video😆
With my third baby I felt a pop and a ton of liquid came out. 2 hours later at the hospital the nurse said I had tested negative for amniotic fluid and that my water had not broke. She wanted to send me home. I was so upset because I knew it was my water breaking. I called my DR and she let me stay since it was my 3rd baby. It turned out the test was wrong and my son was born 3 hours later. These tests are not always accurate.
I've had this twice! Silly tests 🤦♀️
Bio
that's what i keep tryna tell mf's too yo omfg yo like ugh
Just got sent home for this today and now im contracting and its annoying. Feeling defeated.
@@mellissav1075 I’m so sorry. Call your Dr and demand to be seen. You need to be your own advocate.
Waters broke this morning, no contractions yet, just cramping similar to that of my period. Been asked to go see my pre natal doc for a checkup, showering and heading up there now. baby boy is on way🙏🏻🙌🏼❤️
Hey. What ended up happening?
I am the 6% 🤦♀️ First time mom here, I woke up at 2:45am to pee (again) and got out of bed and a huge gush hit the floor and I thought I peed myself, so I went to the bathroom, peed, stood up, boom another huge gush (like, grab the mop and bucket levels of gush). At this point I knew something was up, called the hospital and they told me to come in to get checked (it was early, I clearly woke up the nurse I was taking to, she definitely thought I was overreacting and just peed myself). Being the control freaks we are, my boyfriend mopped the floor, I made our bed, did a whole bunch of silly things before we left for the hospital (I was a little in denial the baby was coming, because it was 4 weeks early). Of course, this is December 23rd and where we live the roads are covered in ice and snow and on a good day we still live about 30 minutes from the hospital. By the time we got to the hospital it was around 4am (was already 3cm dilated and 100% effaced to my surprise), I didn’t actually feel any contractions until probably around 6am (with the help of pitocin), at 9am I was 6cm and the baby was in my arms at 10:45am. It was a whirlwind process and by the time my little guy decided to come, he was in a hurry so there was no time for any pain management but, overall, what a beautiful experience 💕
Shelbie Dodge omg this exact bathroom situation happened to me !!!!!!!!!
I’m 45m from my hospital, water broke at 4:09am and he was born at 5:55am. I barely made it to the hospital by the time we got changed, cleaned the floor (we have hardwood) and called everyone.
Congratulations Mama! 💙👶
We've been watching your videos for the whole pregnancy, and my wife just went into early labor last night at 38 weeks, first pregnancy. She skipped pre and early labor signs and suddenly seemed to be in transitional labor (2 minutes apart, strong surges, intense and couldn't speak, only 30 seconds rest). It turns out she was 4 cm dilated, not in transition. After 9 hours of labor overnight, suddenly the contractions went away, with waters still intact - and only 5 cm dilation after a grueling night. So confusing and disappointing. We were considering induction but read about the dangers, and I wasn't sure what to do - but this video reassured me that we can still wait because the waters are intact, so our clock hasn't started. We're waiting it out to see what happens next in the next 12 to 24 hours, and trying to stay moving and considering other ways to naturally induce. Please pray for a good delivery for us! And may God bless you for all the help you've given new parents like us.
How was everything???
How delivery happened soon 🙏🏽
Super curious to know how all this turned out. Care to share?
@Abdullah hernandez did you have a good birth?! I'm dying to know
What happened replying hope u had a beautiful home birth
Thanks Bridget! My first labor started with breaking of membranes and the hospital pressured me into getting induced with pitocin in less than 12 hours. Everything went ok but now that I'm pregnant with my second I appreciate having this info from you on my side in case my labor starts similarly this time I can be more empowered to take longer and let labor start nautrally
Thank you for such a thorough explanation in such a sweet gentle manner ❤️
My best friend‘s water broke, with her first baby, naturally at 38 weeks. They went directly to the hospital and were admitted but she still didn’t have her baby for another 26 hours. It was pretty insane and she was very upset that she did not eat before going to the hospital.
Thank you so much for these videos. They are so informative and detailed. They’re helping me feel even more empowered for my 2nd natural birth 🤍 (36 weeks tomorrow!)
Thanks for this informative video! I’m currently 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant. This has helped me tremendously on what to expect. God bless ❤️
Thank you for the quality info, Bridget! You make me consider becoming a doula. If you haven't already, would you ever make a video about your decision to become a doula?
Thank you so much for these videos. I feel like with Covid new moms don’t really get the care / education we need. I learned so much from u.
Oh man, I wish I had watched this video before my last birth! I didn’t even think to get educated about it because I knew it was so rare. My water broke at 39w2d and I knew I wanted to wait a bit before I went to the hospital and when I called they told me to come right in and induced me. I ended up never starting labor and had a C -section 36 hrs later cause they were concerned about potential infection. I wish I would’ve known there were more options! I’m desperate for a VBAC in a few months and I’m grateful for your videos that are helping me feel ready to defend myself.
I really appreciate and enjoy watching your videos , would you please make more videos about VBAC ? recommendations to prepare for it ? if I am planning to have a VBAC should I go to the hospital earlier if my water breaks ?
Wow 6%?! I had no clue! My water broke while sitting on my yoga ball at home with my first child. With my second it broke during labor. We’ll see what happens with #3 due May 2nd! ☺️
Hey whats the update I'm due in a week?
I’m 38 weeks and I absolutely love watching your videos. They really have helped me prepare for labor a whole lot more. Thank you so much for making these videos ☺️ you’re also so peaceful to listen to and you’re so genuine and sweet. And also so naturally beautiful!
Hi Bridget, once again thank you for these informative videos, I found all of them very useful and give me tools to work through my pregnancy and for sure I will be more informed giving birth! I will like to ask you if you can make a video about Gestational Diabetes, I was diagnosed two weeks ago and at the begging it felt so overwhelming and frustrating. I think lots of pregnant women go through this and having a good informative and encouraging video will be very powerful! Thanks a lot!
THIS! I don’t have gd but I was terrified of having it because I have a hard enough time deciding what to eat without any Heath or eating restrictions so the thought of having to eat certain things and track what I eat was terrifying for me 😬😬😬
Love the story you shared. Here hoping for a v-bac myself.
My water broke with my 2nd baby, 20 days after you made this video! Before labor started! 3rd time around and hoping i dont break water before labor. I wasnt even doing anything. I was half awake/half asleep. Then suddenly water broke
I had my second baby almost 3 weeks ago❤ and your videos helped me so much to stay calm through the whole process, specially through the pushing stage. lol Anyways, I'm still watching your videos, there is so much good information in them. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you so much for your videos! Both pregnancies my mucus plug came out after a few hours of contractions at home with 30-45mins in between. My water broke during labor while i was with my midwives a few hours before both my girls were born. The first time felt like i peed myself, the second time was a POP like a water balloon popped LOL. I really appreciate the breathing techniques you shared in your other videos - I used both destressor and the moaning breathing to get through my intensely strong contractions and welcomed my second child on March 11th. You are wonderful and every woman deserves to hear you share your knowledge and experience ♥️♥️♥️
My water broke during active labor. It was the loudest pop! and it felt like warm fluid down my legs. That kid was coming out and coming out fast!
I wish I had seen this one 3 months ago! My water broke at 36 weeks. My first instinct was to stick to my birth plan of staying put and laboring at home until My contractions were in the 411 pattern. My first mistake was calling the hospital and listening to their demands that I come in and be induced. It definitely set off the classic chain reaction of events that led me to a traumatic c-section that resulted in me being put under for the surgery and missing my daughters first hour of life. Every step of the way I was made to doubt myself and my body but looking back they did my c-section right before shift change so I'm pretty sure they made me feel like a failure just so they could get home faster. But looking back I was told every step of the way that I was not in charge nor was I educated enough to make informed decisions. But that's not true had I stuck to my guns I could possibly have had the birth me and my baby deserved.
Don't beat your self up. If you're a believer, there's always hopes. Bring those cares before the Most High. He can cleanse you
The doctors are just trying to do what’s best for the baby.. it’s about the baby’s health not your preferences
@@Sbs349 agreed! A lot of women (usually first time moms) have misconceptions on what labor exactly is. My niece was so adamant that she was not getting an epidural because-- she wanted to “remember her daughters birth” and not be “out of it” and all “drugged up”. 🤦🏼♀️ I kept trying to tell her that’s not what it is… it’s basically (a VERY basic way to describe it, I am NOT a doctor) but basically like novicane for your lower body, from belly down. (Atleast that’s what it felt like with each of my three kids). You’re just numb but a lot of women assume you’re “drugged up”. Needless to say she ended up getting an epidural lol! Now as far as mothers precious “birth plans”, they will most likely fall apart when your labor actually starts. As you said, the doctors are doing whatever is best for the BABY. They do not care about your birth plan. Which is why a lot of people will tell you to discuss birth plan with your doctor at one of your appts, BEFORE labor starts. Atleast then they will have an idea of what you want before everything starts and moves so fast. Also, the birth of your child is absolutely the most memorable moment of moms lives but all the other stuff (birth plan, etc…) are going to be completely forgotten and/or not cared about anymore once you have that beautiful baby. None of that matters. Sorry for the rant. It was just nice to see your (common sense) comment lol! First time moms can be very annoying 😂😂😂 lol jk (kinda) but it’s true and I’m sure most people would agree with that! I do understand their fear and over planing but when they have this super specific birth plan and act as if they know and are so sure what is going to happen during and after labor and delivery makes me so mad. (I am aware this is a dumb thing to be mad about)… and maybe “mad” isn’t the right word. Annoyed would be a better word to describe it. So yes, that annoys me so much! And it’s mostly because (usually) the women just sines off so pretentious about it as if they know sooo much about labor and delivery and they’re sooo much better because they’re doing a home birth or all natural, no drugs etc… I could be completely wrong, but it def comes off that way!
Ok-- sooo sorry for this long ass rant 😂🤦🏼♀️ 😂
Same happened with me..I regret c section so much and hate that doctor who promised me a normal delivery because my body and everything was perfect for normal delivery.
Try midwife led care for your next one,God willing. Hope you aren't struggling with post partum due to your experience ❤
My water did break like the hollywood movies with the exception that I was on the toilet and it was my first baby! The nurses didn’t seem to believe me but I almost gave birth in my car lol. I was 9 cm dilated when I got there and baby arrived 26 mins after we got to the hospital
My water broke with my first and L&D sent me home saying it wasn’t. I spent the next 24 hrs filling a pad every hour. And my son was born the following day. Unfortunately sometimes professinals can be wrong.
Thanks for this video! I had a high leak during my last pregnancy that went undetected for an entire 7 days until I delivered! Meaning, I let my care providers know right away but unfortunately was told that I was likely leaking urine. One reason for that was that I had 2 false negative results with those swabs that you mentioned. The 2nd one came at the hospital shortly before I delivered… the nurse at that same visit sent the sample to the lab after she did an exam and only then were they able to confirm that it was amniotic fluid.
Hey Bridget! I know you’re not a “Doctor” but if you uploaded a Week by Week of how the baby is developing and what size that would be so cool! I think just being a subscriber to you, and loving your personality that would be so awesome! Have a beautiful day🌻
am almost 38wks..i use a free app called 'Baby Center' their logo looks like 3 leaves ;deep green, pink and light green.
u key in ur details and it shows u each week baby's size, length, and weight. its amazing and its most of the time accurate to what my doctor tells me..it also has health tips for mummies. 👍
Such great info!!!
I was the 6% and it was fairly "movie style" that I was told not to expect. I was exactly 36 weeks pregnant with my first and I felt a pop and had a huge gush of fluid with contractions starting about 15 mins later. Was at the hospital an hour from the time my water broke and my contractions were 2 mins apart and I was 6cm dilated upon arrival. I had my daughter naturally (didn't have a choice in the matter because it was going so quickly) 5 hours later from the time my water broke to the moment she was placed on my stomach, with 1 hour of pushing. I had been having prodromal labor for about 2 weeks and had braxton hicks since 22 weeks. It was a crazy delivery!
Did your baby need any time in the NICU?
Same here! It was my first baby and my water broke dramatically with a loud pop. I was still leaking fluid on the way to and at the hospital and delivered 20 mins after we got to labor and delivery. I was 100% certain I was going to give birth in the car because i was ready to and felt the urge to push
I'm so happy I found your channel!! thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with the world xoxo!
I am part of the 6%- my water broke about 20 minutes before the first contraction with my oldest and as I got up at night to go to the bathroom with my second. It took about 12 minutes before consistent contractions started.
My water broke movie style at 36 weeks 4 days, my mucus plug came with it! It looked insane 😂 16 hours later I had my girl
Beautiful
I’m 37 weeks and I wish this happens 😍
First pregnancy?
I’m 35 weeks and I am just counting down the days to full term. I have GD and have been prescribed insulin just recently. I want to go without it as long as possible, but I don’t know if I can go another 5 weeks on such a strict diet.
My water broke at 5:30 am on September 27,2021 and had my little bundle of joy at 12:16 pm.
After 5 babies, I only had once where my water had spontaneously broke and it was towards the end of labor. The other four births, I asked to have the bag ruptured when I got to around 9 cm and pretty much immediately after that, I was ready to start pushing. My last baby was born a week ago and I asked the midwife to break it and that as soon as she did, I would be ready to push. I don't think she believed me but, sure enough, baby was born less than 30 minutes later.
SAME
I'll share my story for statistics. I just gave birth a week ago. My water started leaking "unnoticeably" a week before, BUT it wasn't leaking per se but I just saw white discharge (probably vernix) when I peed. I couldn't understand why... Then my waters started to leak (enough to wet my pants, 1-2 tablespoons easily) and then I saw that white discharge and realized it was amniotic fluid. The leaking was pretty constant, and I was wondering if labor will start in time. I only had a random light contraction every few hours at that point, could even be Braxton-Hicks. 25 hours later at night, more regular contractions began, and I was super happy that labor has started. 8 hours later baby was born. All is perfectly well. So mine took 25 hours between the leaking and onset of labor. (Even though some tiny leaking started even earlier.) I probably leaked out 2 glasses or so in that 25 hours. Also, water never "broke" during labor, once the head was blocking the way. And I never heard any loud "pop" :) Videos like this are helpful to wait and see. Oh, and it was a home birth. Baby #2. With baby #1 contractions came first.
Thank you for saying “Mothers”!! 💕💕💕
I think my water just broke but am not sure,I was dreaming that my water broke and then I woke up and my legs felt wet lol, but it wasn't alot to wet the bed, my appointment is today so I'm gonna go and hear what my nurse has to say because I'm not sure,but it's definitely amniotic fluid just not alot
Would be important to add, that yes you do head to the hospital if your water breaks and you’re GBS positive!
Thank you.
Being induced in the morning! I’ve watched a lot of your videos, thanks for all the info! My midwife will be with me and we’ve discussed your videos 😀
What would be the consistency of water??
My due date is tomorrow , and I haven't felt anything , nor did the pains started
What should I do for chances of nirmal delievery
Thank you dear your last word gives me hope 🙏 i looking this video for my sister in law she is pregnant and the water break in 36week pregnancy so she still get antibiotics treatment in the hospital the Drs plan she have to give birth in 37week.
Your videos are super helpful! Thank you!!!
Hi I recently saw your vlog I am 33 weeks. In scan they found my amino fluid is more than normal can you tell me is it safe or it’s issue for my baby
My water broke almost an hour ago...and I am yet to get my contractions. I am 38 weeks and 5 days today ...
I hope everything went smoothly for you and fell into place. I would love to know how it turned out.
I really wish you had come out with this 6 weeks ago! lol Mine broke and I was so confused!
I’ve had three births, all were leaking fluid, none of them I was able go into labour naturally. My last I was in hospital for 3 days, and still didn’t go into labour naturally. I needed to be induced for all three.
My water is actually leaking now and this is the 1st video I watch.
When my mom gave birth to me, her water never broke at all and I was born in the sac! I was her third, so I’m guessing that won’t happen to me and my first, but it is a unique possibility to consider.
I just had my son February 19th 2020. I woke up to some pink colored discharge. I took a shower and put a pad on when suddenly I felt a gush of fluid come out. It felt like warm water. My water had broke at 640 am and my baby boy was born at 315 pm. 8 hr and 35 min total labor.
Can we do normal urine checkup to check if it is amniotic fluid or not..or sonography is req
Watching this video…. Just gave me the answers I’ve searched for for over 6 years.
Apparently, my midwife and Doula both did nothing correctly. They loomed a 24 hour ticking time bomb over my head, the second my “water broke”. But all I had was a little trickle, and a little trickle upon standing up immediately. They came to my house and stared at me from my couch the entire day. They helped me with nothing. They advised nothing. And they never even checked to verify if it WAS ACTUALLY amniotic fluid or not! But boy did they loom that 24 hour clock over me!!
My labor did begin a few hours later on its own, and I got to about 7cm within that 24 hour period, despite my “care team” doing everything they possibly could do, to skyrocket my fear, and anxiety. But then at that 24 hour mark they spoke to me as if it were a dire emergency, they told me I HAD TO transport to hospital and transfer care to the doctors. They gave me the impression that me and my baby were about to both die. I just cried in fear.
At the hospital the treated me like a crazy tree hugging loon, for wanting to have my baby at home normally. And immediately told me that I needed an “emergency C-section for FTP”. My “care team” did zero to advocate for me, or help me, all they did was continue to stare at me in silence, like a zoo creature for their watching. I was so upset, I told the doctors and nurses that I came to the stupid hospital per their requirements and now I was going to try to continue to labor there.
They continued to push for the csection, I continued to say no. They said fine, but we HAVE TO put you on petosin. They plugged me into petosin and set it on 6.5. I went into another dimension with contractions. And the 3 nurses, and surgeon, and my “care team”, plus my husband, all just stood around in my room watching me, as the zoo creature they treated me as.
My dialation did not progress. They continued to threatened and encourage the csection non stop. They raised my petocin to 8.5. They stared at me and watched me. They threatened. At about my 34 hour mark the surgeon came in and got very very serious, he told me that my time was up, and that I had to get the emergency C-section now. He expressed that me and baby were basically going to die any moment if we didn’t. Which btw, I had a mobile fetal monitor on, and both me and baby reflected 100% healthy and normal this entire time. But they told me I had to. They told me we were about to die. I cried. I said “but I don’t want you to chop my entire body in half”. They hooked me up to a million cords and IVs, and wheeled me to surgery.
The spinal block didn’t work the first time, so they figured what the heck, and gave me another. I had massive negative side effects from the double drugging postpartum. They cut my body open, and pulled my baby out, whom was inside the north canal, so they had to do extra pushing and shoving on my lifeless body. Baby boy came out perfect average sized, and perfectly healthy in every single way. No infections for either of us either.
How do I find a legitimate care team now, after all of that happening on round 1? I paid that midwife $4k cash, for her to do nothing but hinder my labor and birth. I need help to stay focused, and I’m going to buy your course to educate myself more. But it would be so great to have a real midwife or doula, to help guide me and protect me. ♥️🙏🏽
Sounds so similar to what I went through, 41wks3days gushing fluid, no contractions, went in, they induced me, used petocin, fear mongered me saying baby may be too big to make it through vag, anesthesiologist didn't listen, epidural was entering too much on right side, epidural only worked on my right side, created pain imbalance, baby heart rate started to get abnormal from feeling pain imbalance too, more fear monger to get c sect, then baby pooped inside, thats when they demanded c section, baby swallowed/inhaled it, I missed about a whole week of babies first life outside womb, nicu was rude unintelligent tyrants, even had bleeding diaper rash from their neglect, this was all at uofl hospital, baby developed eczema 1.5 months old, has stomach digestive issues, from not being exposed to microbes, but probiotic drops are helping, I just watched a video about how some hospitals use tampon type things in vag w/ csection moms and wipe the fluid over them and it helps this should be done at all hospitals.
@@DivinityPrevails I’m so sorry you went through something similar. 🙏🏽♥️
So can you wash yourself and have a wash after your water broke?
I have a Question can your water break little by little!?,After the water break can you be in labor for weeks and the nothing happens!?..
Also what is the chance of having a normal vaginal birth after two c section?...With Corona Virus In Hospitals Is Ok For Someone To Give Birth At Home?...
My favorite doula!
My water did break like this for my first birth! My second i was almost 42 weeks and still no baby so i ended up getting induced but it still broke on it’s own and baby came minutes later!!
I'm 34 weeks and 4 days pregnant and Iv been leaking fluid for the past week but I have come to the conclusion that I am just peeing myself! Lol Thank you for this as it is hard to tell if it is in fact urine and not amniotic fluid because I am a well hydrated person as I have to be because I have gestational diabetes.
How often did you leak? I am 28 weeks pregnant and i am kinf of leaking continously
If you even suspect it may be amniotic fluid, you should go to the hospital or your ob/gyn to get checked out.
With my 1st child, my Water didn't break till I gave birth so I don't know how it feels like. I'm 40 weeks with my 2nd baby now hope to experience this.
Is there a way to encourage a healthier amniotic response?
Please make a video about vbac
Can you have a body wash after your water breaking?
i was the 2nd one. I made a big puddle in the hallway. I thought I had to go to the bathroom and started walking and a big rush of fluid came out. I wish I saw this video when I had my first because I rushed to the hospital, they gave me drugs to start my labor and wish they didn't.
im so frustrated because its saturday and my doctors after hours number says to just go to the hospital if im in labor, but as a first time mom, im trying to figure out IF im in labor! I keep seeing everywhere "trickle" or " leak" but right now at 38 weeks and 5 days, im more so "dripping". Its definitely not consistent but at the same time, its different from the discharge drip because THIS drip is happening waaay more often. Ive dripped so far 5 times within the hour, having to change my underwear. IDK WHAT TO DO >.
Damn, mine broke before labor, and my friend's broke last night. after she went pee. They had to give her meds to soften her cervix, and she's only 2 cms dilated 😢 it's almost at the 24-hour mark. (6 hours away) I hope things go well for her
My waters did not break with the first two. They broke both waters at the birth center once my body was in the pushing phase, 10 cm with my son and 9 cm with my daughter (I was induced with my daughter) We will see with this pregnancy!
I try to think of T.A.C.O. time, amount, color, odor
It just came out in a tiny trickle and it was clear (I drink lots of water) but I stood up and dripped onto clean panties 😐 so, I don't know what to think or what it was.
Question-
(My 1st baby my water broke with pop and gush before any contractions) does that mean your more susceptible to your water breaking if it's happened to you before in pregnancy or pregnancies?
I'm 28 weeks now with 2nd baby boy.
My second, I was telling the midwife to come and check me, because I thought I was fully dilated and the baby had crowned (I have a high pain threshold which makes people doubt my pain). She was saying it wasn’t possible because 35mins ago I was 3cm dilated, once she opened the covering and I opened my legs it splashed all over her.
I had PROM, had tested GBS positive and delayed going to the hospital as late as possible. I went in around 7 hours after and I still hadn't gone into labor naturally so they gave me cervidil, and I progressed only 1 cm in about 4 hrs. I had a non-reassuring fetal heart rate that kept dropping with every contraction. So then they gave me pitocin which made the contractions come hard and close together but I still wasn't progressing- mind you I had to be on continuous monitor and was told I couldn't move at all which made it very hard to get through the contractions. I ended up have a c-section about 19-20 hours after my water broke. And I did end up getting an infection in the uterine lining which resulted in me being hospitalized for 2 weeks post c-section during COVID. It was such a traumatizing experience. I keep wondering what went wrong and how this could have been better- should I have gone earlier to the hospital? Should I have put garlic cloves and probiotic pills in my panties?? I'm currently pregnant with my 2nd and really hoping for a VBAC but my last experience continues to haunt me. I wish I had a better mindset about getting a c-section. I keep telling myself that whatever happened is unlikely to happen again.
Okay, but MY question is: if your water breaks on furniture or carpet at home, do you stick around to clean it up? Especially if you're going to be in the hospital for 3+ days? And what cleaner does one use?
Thsts relevant!!😂
I’m currently pregnant and wondering if my water is going to break this time around. The first time, I was 10cm dilated and my water had still not broken. The doctor had to break it.
I was just to about to mention that the amniotic fluid smelled like klorox when you mentioned it!
I'm on my 5th baby my first child was the only one my water broke my fluids were leaking about 30 minutes and then while on the phone with the ambulance I heard and felt a pop in my stomach that's when we knew for sure I'm leaking now but not sure.
But what should you do if you’re a bystander?
I'm 40weeks +5 today, and my water just broke. My hospital asked me to wait at home and go there tomorrow if I don't start active labour today. Can I still go to toilet and poop as usual though?? The water is gush, and clear coloured so far. First baby.
Wud love to know what happened
My current situation
I’m having mild contractions but they are getting a little intense,I’m due in 10 days im leaking fluid when im sleeping I wake up with my undies a little wet I don’t know if I should go to the doc
Mine broke movie style with my first art 38 weeks. I had been having 1-2 period like cramps every day for the 2 weeks beforehand. I had just woke up and was laying in bed resting when I felt what I assumed was going to be a big poop. Nope! This was the contraction that broke my water. Pop and gush! I didn't realize I could move that fast at 38 weeks pregnant get to the toilet. Managed not to soak the bed lol. It was 11 hours from water break to birth.
I bent over today and I felt a gush as if I peed my pants I don't notice much leaking afterwards. I am 26 weeks 3 days.
38 weeks and had a lot of bood tinged watery discharge today.. but it stopped and I've been dry since. Could that have been a high leak that baby covered back up? I've been having intense pressure in my pelvis and really bad back ache too. I lost mucus plug and bloody show at 37 weeks for more info.
Last night I was in excruciating pain. I woke up this morning jumped out of bed and had a puddle of clear and milky mixture gush out . Now I was getting positive tests at home for 2 weeks I thought I was just starting out though on my pregnancy journey . I previously went to get blood and urine done and they said the levels was 0 I'm not pregnant tried saying it was due to cyst why all my tests were positive which was already disproved because last time I went in they gave me c.t. scan. They saw nothing no cysts. My tests stopped showing suddenly. I even considered chemical or miscarriage I've had a miscarriage I know I passed tissue then which I haven't passed anything . I seen something about hook effect so I water my tests down like 75% water 25% urine and they show lines. My hospitals are not helpful here I'm not sure what to do.
My water broke at 38 weeks and was green. They told me I had to come in and within 3-5 hours of being in the hospital (only 1 cm and 60% effaced) they said I needed petocin even though babies vitals looked fine and so were mine. As a first time mom I was uneducated and so began a very traumatic birth experience. What are my options if this were too happen again with baby number 2?
Just try to educate yourself as MUCH as you possibly can. READ. RESEARCH. GET A DOULA! Ask LOTS of questions regarding ANY treatment (interference) they are offering. For instance with the pitocin, the questions should be WHY do I need pitocin?? Is the pitocin necessary? Will it present an emergency situation if I don't take it? MAKE them SLOW DOWN AND LISTEN TO YOU. Make them ANSWER ALL OF YOUR QUESTIONS. And if they cannot PROVE to you that it is a medically necessary intervention to prevent harm to you or your baby--REFUSE IT AND STAND YOUR GROUND!!!---That should be a general rule of thumb when delivering in a hospitalized environment---if they cannot prove that whatever they're trying to give you or do to you is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY--REFUSE, REFUSE, REFUSE!!!
love this video
..fyi. you look like STEPHANIE Tanner
Hey sisters I need ur help its my 39 week daily I feel pain at my lower abdomen pain comes and goes I m really scared for delivery because I don't have much energy how I can build up my mind and body and my energy for the delivery

40 weeks and 1 day here 🙋🏼 waiting for some magic to happen that will put me into labour asap 😭😭
Corgrats
I noticed this comment was a month ago, and I’m curious what happened 😁🙌🏼🥰
Why did I have a Hollywood birth😅 it was a big gush of water and then 10 mins later the pain just got worst and worst but my labor stalled a lot at 4-5cm and I was in labor for a very long time
With my first born my water broke 5 min to hospital luckily I went from a 3 to 10cm in 10 minutes... but pushed for 9 hours!!’
My water just broke at 36 weeks🙏🏼 having a home birth, no contractions yet. 3rd baby 🤍
My water broke slightly this time its color was transparent... Lite contractions.. What should I do
Thank you so much for this information and may God bless you and yours in Jesus Christ Mighty Name 🙏!!!****
I’m 32 weeks. I will be induced around 37 weeks. My midwife gave me a labor prep tincture and tea to help naturally induce around that time.
This video was helpful to know what to look out for!!
5 weeks or so until my lil man is here 😍
Mee too. Going to be induced @37! Now close to 36
What was the tea called?
I went to pee when I stood up there was liquid coming out but not a lot
My water broke with my first child, and it was like leaking continuously till I reached the hospital and I lost it all. I was rushed to the hospital because i panicked since non of my relatives that I know had their water broken like that including my mom who is a mother of 8!!! But I really regret going to the hospital too early because I was stuck there for more than 10 hours till I gave birth. Contractions started 3 or 4 hours after my arrival!!!
Thank you for sharing
Pls make a video on how to turn a breach baby
I am 27 week water is leaking what could I do for this to stop please reply me I am helpless
I wish you were my doula
right!!!
Same!
SAME
Do you live in her area?
I had a trickle water of amniotic fluid at 36 weeks
My water normally breaks when baby comes out but with one baby, my water broke and I didn’t go into labor on my own until 36hrs later. However, I regret telling the midwife because they wouldn’t leave me alone, trying to get me to go into labor after 24hrs. By the time I was in labor, I was exhausted!!! 😩 it was not a good situation. That made me decide to never do a birth center birth anymore. Way too many rules bc of the OB office they were connected with. We’re in NC and they are not midwife or birth center friendly at.all. 😒
I got induced :(
Now your baby is normal ?
Can you please also start including information regarding c section mamas? Always feel so left out, I had an emergency one with my first and my second has to be a c section for medical reasons but you never mention anything about them in your videos.
vanezez she may not include c section information because only actual doctors can perform them. It’s out of her scope of practice so that’s probably why she doesn’t mention it :)
