Mucus plug..

Torie

So how long after you guys lost your mucus plug did you go into labor?? I know everyone is different.. I’m 40 weeks+2day pregnant! Yesterday at my doctor appt they did a membrane sweep and I was only 2cm and 60%... all yesterday and last night I had horrible contractions woke up today not having them as bad but some periodically, back is killing me and today I lost my mucus plug or bloody show whatever ppl call it. full blown... is this a sign labor could be near I’m hoping my body is making progress!! 🤞🏼 does this mean I may be more thinned out or dilated to lose my plug.. my body feels different.
