If your having a slow leak your contractions may not get stronger or closer together. I was having a slow leak and didn't really know the only time I could tell was when I had to pee and my contractions were still irregular and not much stronger I went to the hospital and they did a swab and it came back positive that my water had broke. If your water breaks they want you to have the baby with in 24 hours because it's a greater chance for infections for you and your baby. They told me if I would have waited any longer to go to the hospital I would have had to have an emergency c section.
anytime you believe your water has broken preterm, you should call labor and delivery. you would be at risk for infection which could harm baby and or premature delivery. Lots of women experience false alarms and it's no reason to be embarrassed about being sent home from l&d.
If you delivery this early in your pregnancy there is a chance your baby will have some nicu time
I thought mine did too.. But I was having sharp pains also, so I went in to the hospital and it ended up being contractions, but they swear it wasn't my water leaking, which I think it was, cause it didn't smell like pee, but make sure you're not contracting, I was in the hospital for preterm labor for 5 days, you could always call ur on call ob .. And my baby is estimated at weight 4 lbs 6 oz at 31 weeks, I feel like this is going to be a big baby lol!
