If they told you to go in, I suggest going in. We can't tell you what your body did, love. But the hospital can.

You can't tell the difference between urinating and just sitting on a toilet? Neutral

Sounds like your water , I was doing that with my son lol. U dont neccesarily get contractions right away, but from what I recall u need to deliver within 24 hrs of yer water breaking, u can go to landd they can check if it is amniotic fluid, dont shower before u go to the dr . Otherwise if it stops leaking they wont know that it was leaking at all, but im sure they will give u an u.S as well too. But id say u better get your butt up there lol.
