Did my water just break?

So i had to change my OBGYN to deliver at another hospital just to make sure my baby girl had all the special care she needed. My new Dr was lets just say... gruff. that didn't matter though... as long as my baby got here safe. My doctor wanted me to take leave from work for 6 weeks until the baby was born because i was suffering from bad Edema and the swelling on top of the screws i had in my leg was causing so much pain i thought i was going to die... not kidding. My due date was approaching and the count down had begun. 5 days left. 4 days left. 3, 2, 1, 0, late... ok really WTF... late? I, already overweight gained a total of 56lbs through out my pregnancy and was ready for her to come out! so the Internet search was on. i read that walking helps but with my Edema turning my legs into tree trunks it wasn't really working out. i also heard about trying eggplant Parmesan so on my due date (Feb 7th 2011) that's exactly what i did. Feb 9th was my high risk appt. i went early to get some walking down at the mall across the street from the hospital. My mother and i walked out of the car and into Bed Bath & Beyond and i had to pee. when i was done peeing a little bit more came out. i didn't think anything of it and left the bathroom to walk around. my mother finds me and as she is talking to me walking towards me... i swear i peed... just a little bit. apparently i made a face because my mother laughed and said "what? did your water break or something?" as she said that i felt another small gush. i look down at my wet spot on my pants and said "i think so" another small gush... "i know so" so back to the bathroom before the trip across the street to the hospital. Baby's coming :)
