Mucus plug

Hey so I’m 38+3 weeks and just lost my mucus plug, prior to this I have been experiencing bad cramping for the past 2ish weeks. Is this a good indication of labour? How long after losing your plug did you go into labour? Thanks :)

It could mean everything, it could mean nothing 🤷‍♀️ 😂 lost mine at 32 weeks and I’m assuming it regenerated as I’m now 37 weeks with no signs of progressing labour. My first baby I didn’t lose it until I was already in labour

I lost mine the day before my little boy was born. And he was born at 37+6! But it can come out and labour could be 2 weeks later!

If it’s a ‘sign’ of labour it usually has some blood in it, it’s called a bloody show. If there’s no blood then it’s unlikely to be an indication. I lost mine around 32 weeks over the course of a few days. I then broke my waters accidentally at 36+4 while using an electric hedge trimmer 🤦🏼‍♀️

I lost my mucus plug from 36 weeks and didn’t have my baby until 39+6! Sometimes it’s just your body getting ready to have baby, and it can regenerate and keep coming away until labour x

I lost my mucus plug and nothing after that for about 4 days or so, then my water broke and went in… I was only 1 cm dilated, but because of my water breaking they kept me there. It really just varies. I was 38 weeks on the dot when I gave birth.
