An awkward one. I am 38 weeks pregnant and have a horrid cold. Woke up this morning very wet and can't work out if it is a combination of coughing and a weak bladder or my waters have broke! I have no other symptoms

It happened to me, i was coughing & thought i'd wee'd myself (this happened around 10:30am) and by 11pm that night i was in labour & had my daughter around a hour after. I wasn't sure if it was my waters because it smelt so strong of urine, at around dinner time a few hours after my back waters broke

Can sympathise with the cold xx I thought mine had broken so called the midwife and she said they probably hadn't , im nearly 40 weeks - it does kinda sound a bit more like yours may have broken- call anyway to be on the safe side xx good luck with everything!
