Your placenta is a little over an inch thick and  measures about eight to ten inches in diameter.  Your amniotic sac contains about a quart of water.  You may rupture your water before labor starts - even in a public place!  It can happen in the hospital just before delivery as well.  Some women find a slight leak that appears to be urine coming from their vagina.  If this is the case, you should call your OB/GYN.  You will probably be sent to the office or hospital to have it checked for amniotic fluid.  If it tests positive, you are probably in the hospital to stay!
