How can you tell if your water broke before your mucous plug falls out?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Please call your OB: water breaking should be thin watery fluid, ( assuming you do not have meconium) mucous plug will be thick and usually plug will come out first , sometimes it can happen at the same time
