How to Know If My Water Breaks?

A sudden gush of fluid from the vagina

A continuous trickle or leaking of fluid

A feeling of wetness in your underwear or legs

Fluid that is clear, pale yellow, or slightly pink

Fluid that keeps leaking even after you empty your bladder

A sensation that you cannot control the leaking

A pop followed by fluid release

Contractions may start soon after your water breaks

If you are unsure whether it is urine, discharge, or amniotic fluid, contact your healthcare provider

Seek urgent medical care if the fluid is green, brown, foul-smelling, or if you have fever, bleeding, or decreased fetal movement
