What to do if your water breaks

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!
