Answer 1

I had an irritable uterus with my first son and the doctor told me that I just was very full of fluids and was sensitive to the other things rubbing up against my water bags.  No joke bud but every time I sat down, I would end up wearing down teeny tiny holes in my bags and I leaked for a good 4 days before the big explosion.  I think that it's good that the hind waters are leaking because then it is allowing room for your baby to drop.

Answer 2

It's absolutely different for everyone.  I had the same thing...sort of, my underwear was soaked....I was iffy about going to the doctors..because it ended up being the baby on my bladder, causing it to leak, but they told me that it could be back water-I think that is what they referred it to, but I wasn't leaking so they sent me on my way...disappointed.  Later on that night, 2am I felt another squirt, thought I peed myself, stood up and my water fully broke....had my son at 304pm the next day.  So it shouldn't be too much longer!!!  Good Luck!
