Hello,

You should proceed to the nearest hospital or hospital where you plan to deliver now for further evaluation.
I am not sure if this is serious or not, but your bag of waters can break before you are ready to deliver or it can break during the delivery process. If you really have triplets and your bag of waters is really broken, you should be heading to the hospital for your C-section (we rarely let triplets deliver vaginally). If the babies are still early, we would keep you in the hospital until you were farther along before delivering you, but you have to get seen to see what is really happening. Sometimes you think your bag of waters has broken, but it is just leaking from your bladder, since the uterus sits on your bladder and can push out urine without feeling like you are urinating.

Good luck,

Go to the hospital immediately!
