How do you know water breaking?

advice needed

28 weeks exactly. This weekend we family in town.

I don’t have major back pain or other aches right now but I am excited and walking around the house a lot more while hosting. They are all sensitive and ask me to rest but I am just so used to being host that I can’t completely rest.

We have an even bigger party on Sunday and expect over 60 guests for a few hours. The family from out of town is taking over most of the work and arrangements overseen by my husband.

Basically, I am scared that I will hurt the babies. I feel wetness from normal discharge and maybe pee from the bladders being pressed on.

My cervix length has been a good 4.5-5 cm till about 26 weeks so docs are not worried.

I am just ranting I guess but how should I physically prepare? Does water just break because I walked around a lot? I know other moms that are working on their feet a lot - as teachers, doctors and nurses. How do I not overthink this?
