If you feel that there is water flowing out of the vagina before labor, it may be early water breaking. You should go to the hospital for examination and timely treatment.

However, vaginal secretions in late pregnancy will also increase, not necessarily broken water. Generally, when breaking the water, you will feel a stream of water flowing out of the vagina. When the fetal head drops and blocks the cervix, the water will decrease, but with the activities of pregnant women, there will be some flowing out. Therefore, it's better to go to the hospital and let the doctor check. If it is really broken water, you can't wait any longer and have to be hospitalized for delivery. After breaking the water, it is suggested that the family members raise the buttocks of pregnant women and send them to the delivery hospital as soon as possible.

In addition, if it is amniotic fluid, you will soon feel labor pain. When fetal membrane breaks, you will feel liquid flowing out, like urination. Sometimes more or less, sometimes changing position or using abdominal pressure will flow out. This is a pregnant woman who should be hospitalized immediately.
