Water broke?

I thought that I would know if my water broke, but I'm not sure. We were playing Xbox Kinect last night (bowling) and I did something that embarrassed me. I jump and I felt like I just wet my pants.  I went to the bathroom and I thought I just peed. Here's the tricky part:

1. I have low fluid so I don't know how much would come out.

2. Now, every time I used ab muscles a little more squirts out.  

Did I happen to crack the lining and it's just a tiny hole, or am I peeing?  And how do I get it to stop? I didn't think anything of it last night, but some keeps coming out.

It can be really hard to tell, so I would call your OB to be on the safe side. They can do a swab to test whether it's amniotic fluid. It sounds like it could be.

My doctor told me that if my water breaks, I need to be in the hospital within one hour. Stop wondering. Go to the hospital and get it checked.

If it is continuing to leak then ther e is a good chance it is your water. You need to call your doctor now and tell them what happened. Once your water breaks they generally want you to deliver within 24 hours because your risk of infection goes up with a compromised bag of water. I can't see if you have a ticker that says how far along you are, though, because I am on my phone so I am not entirely sure what they are going to do.

Same thing happened with me last pregnancy. I had a slow leak and at first thought that I had peed myself. I called my doctor and went into LD to get checked. They did a swab test and confirmed it was my water. As they were checking how dilated I was, that is when I felt the big gush.

I would definitely call, especially if you are able to push a little more out over and over again.  Sounds like this could be it!  Good luck!

This. Go get a swab. It doesn't hurt to get it checked out. I thought mine may have broke in the shower a week ago. I called the hospital and they told me to come in and get the swab done to see. In the end it turns out that I just peed myself...but it didn't hurt to check! Better to be safe than sorry! Good luck!

Does it smell like pee? If it doesnt smell like pee it can be your water. It sounds like your water though. You need to go to your doc or the ER immediately cause you can get infections if your water breaks prematurely. Even if its a tear.
