How long were you able to go after losing your mucus plug?

Question

Wiped after weeing and this is what I saw. Could this be mucus plug? I'm just 34weeks 3days. Can I still carry on till atleast 36-37weeks? A little worried.

Answer

I lost mine at 34 weeks one piece at 4am the second at 6am and after that I started with contractions at around 7 at 9 I went into the hospital and was at 4cm they told me if I don't progress to 5 then I can go home and be on strict bed rest... well I moved up to 5 and they sent me to L&D stayed at 5 for a couple of hours then out of no where I kept dialating I reached 10 but since baby was breech had to have a c-section and had him at 11:59

Answer

I lost mine at 31 weeks. I'll be 37 tomorrow. It can regenerate. So I wouldn't worry unless you start having contractions.

Answer

I went several weeks with my first after losing globs of it. I think it's not a big deal unless it's brown/tinged with blood-then it's the real deal

Answer

I've lost mine twice so far once at 28 weeks and once just recently at 37. Doesn't mean much, they regenerate. Unless bloody or contractions follow it's hard to use it as a judgement of when labor would begin.

Answer

I'm a first time mom, but some of my friends have lost their mucus plug and still waited for 2 weeks before labor started or progressed. Good luck!
