Do you have to lose mucus plug before going into labor?

Question

Im just curious. I'm due tomorrow and every night it seems like I have false labor... But I never never lost my mucus plug. At this point I'm wondering if I will have to be induced next week blaaaaah so done.

Answer

No, and I’ve read that a lot of the time women don’t even notice that they’ve lost theirs.

Answer

No, and only 10ish% of womens waters break prior to labour!

Answer

No. My first time when I was induced I didn’t loose it till I was between 4&7 cm -hard to say bc i did that in 10 mins lol (lost parts while pregnant but it regenerates and was never bloody until labor was in full swing. Ended up with a c section). My second I went into labor on my own and didn’t loose it (had c section)

Answer

I would say no. When I was in labor with my daughter in 2013, I never lost my mucus plug that I could see, my water never broke and I never had any blood🤷🏻‍♀️
I was expecting all of these things to happen and my pain tolerance is very high so I couldn’t feel that I was having contractions so I didn’t believe I was in labor. My grandma ended up forcing me to go to the hospital because she knew I was in labor and sure enough I was.... I was already dilated to a 4 and within 5hrs my daughter was born.
