    defiantely sounds like you're well on the way!!!

    with mine, I had a huge gush, and then it trickled and squirted on and off until bubs was born (78 hours later!!)

    I was soaking through pads regularly - but sometimes in 20 minutes, and sometimes they lasted for a couple of hours ...

    and it depended on my position too ... sitting down - less water. stand up? squirtles!!

    hope things get moving smoothly and swiftly!!

    Sounds like it might be happening soon

    When my waters broke I lost the entire lot, hind and for waters. I leaked for the whole two weeks prior to his birth. Waters will continue to replenish and it is possible for a tear to fix itself too.

    All the best xx

    Well this morning... nothing. Woke up a few times in pain in the night but then just having BH now. Have alot of CM happening but no baby lol

    I've had enough. Feel like a sissy for saying it but the on again off again is killing me. I'm meant to be studying for exams which I can't do cause I can't stop thinking about baby every time I have a BH or contraction. Plus DS has the flu and is home from day care so my plan of just getting lots of sleep if I couldn't study has gone out the window. I'm still drinking raspberry leaf tea and I'll go for another walk soon, but just at the moment I'm feeling utterly crap.

    It gets really hard towards the end, especially when you thinks its starting then it stops again. My little one did that for a couple of weeks before she finally arrived. Hope it settles down or bub arrives soon.

    I think your body keeps producing amnio fluid, so even after your waters break, even if they did totally empty out, your body would keep making more. when mine broke, i had a gush with every contraction. i started wearing maternity pads, but after a while i felt like i was losing so much i felt that i would end up with wet pants, so i just stuck a beach towel in my DH's track pants (no, i was wearing them - not him LOL!) and some of the towel stuck out the front and some out the back! It was NOT a good look!!
    Anyway, maybe when your contractions start it will start leaking more?? Maybe there was just a little break in the sack and the baby is putting pressure on it, so it's kind of pinched closed again??
