Do you always lose your plug or waters break?

Question

Sat at 39 weeks waiting for these to happen but do they always happen?

Answer

Nope. I only had contraction every 5mins to know im ready for labour.

Answer

With my oldest i didn't notice losing the mucus plug, and water didn't break until she was on her way out (made for a really easy birth!) she was born at 39 weeks exactly. I was induced with my second so different story there

Answer

No

Answer

With my first I was induced for medical reasons full term and my waters were broken at 10 cm, I never had a show or lost my mucus plug that I saw.
My recent was over due by 6 days, had sweep and that early morning I actually lost my plug - had her that day - my waters broke around 8cm as I was walking to the the birth pool.

Answer

Never lost mine and my water broke during contractions, few minutes before the actual pushing stage.

Answer

Your waters are designed to stay intact for as long as possible so it’s more likely they won’t break until after Labor has already begun.

Answer

You will always lose your mucus plug but it isn’t something that always happen before labor, sometimes i can happen deep into labor! My waters never broke on their own. Both times were in the hospital bed by my doctor lol
