Strange question about water breaking.

  If it breaks, it will leak, even if you're not dilated.  Think about menstration, you're not dilated at all during that but it still is able to exit through the cervix.

  Yup, you will most definitely leak fluid if your water broke. I felt that 'pop' right before my water broke w/ DS...and out came the fluid. LOL

  if it breaks, you'll have leaking..whether it's just a trickle or a gush. i doubt it was your water if you haven't had any kind of leaking at all

  Yup.

  And to answer the rest of your question, I was 0 dilated or effaced at my 39 week appointment and had my water break (we're talking flood-like breakage here) 3 days later, so yes, it's possible for your water to break even if you haven't made any kind of progress.

  But again, if your water breaks, you will leak fluid. It won't just collect in your uterus or something like that. 

  

  

  Farewell, nesticle, you will be missed

  The "pop" you felt was prob just the baby since you're not leaking any fluid. I frequently feel little popping sensations but my water isn't broken. Sometimes you can hear it too. It's weird.
