Do you lose your mucus plug and then your waters break? ?

Question

or can your waters break first?

Answer 1

you could lose your mucus plug days before your water breaks

and you dont need to lose your mucus plug for your water to break

Answer 2

Membranes could rupture at any time. Some women never notice losing their mucous plug ever until labor is well underway.

But membranes rupture prior to the onset of active labor in only about 10-15% of pregnant women. Most women have been laboring for quite some time, or they never rupture at all and the doctor does it at delivery.  

Answer 3

Well, Im due Tuesday September 2nd !! And my baby girl still isn't here! Anywayssss lol I already lost my mucus plug and my water hasn't broke yet. And yeah your water can break first. The pregnant womans body is so weird I still don't understand it all the way. Just get walking and that'll move things along! Good luck!
