Water broken : It's like a gush , if it breaks and is in large volume . It may be slight too . Just get checked if you feel it's broken .

Water: It should be more like a gush followed by a trickle. Right now you should have leukorrhea, which is a thin whitish discharge that may require wearing a panty liner. However, if you think your bag of water ruptured or is leaking call your OB providers office. Most OB's after hours and weekends have an answering service to help address these issues.

Not easily: If you are unsure, it may be wise to visit your obstetrician or the "evaluation unit"of your hospital where your "excess vaginal discharge" can be examined (ferning and Nitrazine tests) , tests for vaginitis/vaginosis performed and cultures for bacteriological infections obtained. At times, a sonographic exam (amniotic fluid index) may also be useful and necessary.

No water break...: At this timeline in your pregnancy there is not enough water to break automatic and it could just be your excess discharge. Please get yourself checked by the GYN . Good luck.
