So I dont know if this is TMI but I need some advice or info. My husband and I were having sex this morning and it got REALLY wet down there. Like it was coming down my leg and kind of splattering. This has never happened before when we've had sex. Could my water have broke during sex? And when your water breaks what is the consistenct like? Thick, runny??? Im having lower back pain now and some pressure down in my pelvic area. I need some advice please please please!

sounds like your waters have gone,when my waters went it was quite like the consistancy of water and quite a pale colour... once your waters have gone thats it the fluid should stop

sometimes when your waters break its a big gush of water, others is just a trickle, whereas some people dont have any water. you need to call your doctor/midwife. it does sound like your waters have broken

If i were you id be headed to labor and delivery. That happened to me i beleive the night before i had my daughter, like it was noticable but i wasnt having any pains so i went to bed, i woke up at 7amxmas morning having regular contractions that intensified and got closer together. My water was like leaking. Sounds to me like u may have ruptured your waters. Most likely calling the dr they will tell u to head to the hospital to have it checked out.
