What happens with the water breaks during pregnancy? When there is a gush of fluid, women are advised to wear a napkin and confirm if it is a urine leak or a water bed break. If the napkin is wet, and clear it is normal. If the water bed breaks and there is a greenish discharge then it is an indication that the baby has passed stool. Immediately inform your doctor and go to the hospital where your doctor will advise you on the next course of action. For more information, visit care.com
