Amniotic fluid

Is it possible for your water to break even though you havent lost your mucus plug?

My Dr told me losing your mucus plus is not a sign of labor, it can happen weeks before labor (usually about two weeks) and that if I lose mine to not waste my time calling because it means nothing

I think it can. That's why some people have problems with leaking amniotic fluid. And losing mucus plug and water break are signs of labor but it doesn't have to happen in any particular order I don't think.
