I was one day shy of two weeks overdue and had been having painless abdominal tightening early in the night. I went to bed and woke up having to pee. When I stood up I felt a trickle and then when I wiped there was some blood. The trickle definitely wasn't a pee trickle:) Then it stopped, but later when I was in labor it just kept breaking and breaking- it did it about 5 times over the course of two hours, each time there was ALOT of fluid. I think my babies head was acting as a plug. My ctx's were pushing him up, not down ( I later found out why- my cervix was scarred from a D&C and unable to dilate past 1/2 cm.!). Anyway, everytime he was pushed up, more fluid would come out, then he'd settle back down and plug it up again!! Eventually, of course, he was an emergency c-section. The other two were scheduled C's and no water-breaking happened:)
