Embarrassing but confused
Going to sound stupid and I’m completely embarrassed but I’m currently 38 weeks and baby is engaged and ready to go, I just got a shock when washing the dog down after a walk and the hose soaked me instead, causing me to wet myself with both laughter and shock (pelvic floors not what it used to be obviously 😂) completely humiliating, but a lot came out and I mean a lot😂 now wondering if my waters broke at the same time? Purely would be coincidence I know but it properly gushed and Im really struggling to believe that was all wee
Is there anything that would give away that it was waters breaking other than the contractions?

My midwife told me that if you think your waters have gone put on a pad and if it’s wet after an hour it’s your waters. Can also call into triage if you’re worried and they’ll be able to take a swab to confirm
They do a test a bit like covid with the strip to test if there’s amniotic fluid.
My hind waters went and didn’t end up being identified for a week as it wasn’t that obvious- apparently a separate part and not as dramatic!
Put a pad on and do the sniff test. Waters smell like semen

Sorry that's hilarious 🤣 Put a pad in your pants and see if there is anything left trickling out, call triage and tell them what's happened. They normally always advise a pad but if you think it was a lot they may ask you to go in to check
