weird question i know lol ive never had my waters pop natrually,well almost once my back waters had gone but not the front and the other two times ive had it done for me,being 2 days overdue i was sat in the bath before after eating an extrmley flamminh hot vindaloo and wondered how on earth would i know if my waters popped in the bath lol does anyone know?does it turn the water a funny colour or is it colourless? or would you just feel the pop,like i say my waters dont usually pop but is just one of them things ive always wanted to know,any answers on a postcard would be gratefully recieived lol:rotfl:

When mine went, I felt it. It was a huge release of pressure so even if I hadn't seen the fluid I would have known. Also the fluid keeps coming and coming (in my case for hours after they went) so it would have to be a very long bath not to see/feel it when you actually came out. As I had a heavy show which started at the same time, can't comment from first hand experience on colour, though my understanding is that it pretty colourless

My waters popped in bed, and I felt a definite 'pop' inisde. The fluid was slightly pink in colour. As Nicki said, it does keep coming for a long time afterwards.

You'll know, my first "popped" in the bath. To put it crudely, it is rather like an internal fart!

Apologies - but mine were green! My lovely baby boy had pooped. Unfortunately this resulted in him spending 4 days in special care as he managed to inhale it (yuk! - meconium aspirate is the proper term and he was fine) but there was no missing it. The midwife broke mine and as others have said there is a definite 'loss of pressure' type feeling. I don't think someone could not notice but we're all different and I didn't realise I was expecting till I was 5 months gone!

Actually this reminds me on the time I was on the phone to my very pregnant friend. She screamed and said 'Oh my God, my waters have broken.' I did the good friend bit - keep calm, ring your husband etc etc. Then she screamed again. 'What???' I asked. 'The dog is licking it up' she replied. Ewwwwwwwww :rotfl:

never knew with my first 2, but my 3rd, was just trying to keep my 2 year old for sneeking into out bed at night due to the impending birth, so when he got up i went with him into his bedroom and settled him into bed (was toilet training also and nearly there)! anyway i fell asleep in his bed with him, and woke at about 5 am thinking 'oh no he's had an accident' got up and changed his sheets...only when the waters continued to run from me did i realise actually he hadnt wet the bed but i was in labour..little one came very quickly afterwards and was born at 9.04 am!

Mine popped as I got out of bed for a 5am wee! It was a definate popping sensation, like an elastic band snapping in your lower tummy!
