How long after you lost your Mucus Plug did you go into Labor?

Question

I know it's different for everyone. I've read where some women lose there's a month before labor actually starts. My appointment last week I was 1 1/2 cm dilated, 50% effaced. I had strong consistent contractions on Friday night but we got sent home because I didn't dilate at all. Saturday had some contractions for 2 hours but they didn't get any stronger. This morning I lost my mucus plug and I've just been feeling off all morning. So just wondering when other people went into labor after losing it??

Answer

2 days with my first baby. 4 weeks with my 2nd baby.

Answer

With my first I lost my plug and went into labor 25min later, was in active labor 5hrs after that. This time it’s completely different, I’ve been losing bits of it off and on since 35weeks, I’m now 37 weeks.

Answer

A few hours before my water broke

Answer

With my first I didn't loose any of mine. My water broke at like 1:40am after I just got done eating some of my Thanksgiving ham. I laid down next to my partner and heard and felt this "Pop" I had no idea what it was. I told my partner I heard a pop and then I started to feel the need to pee. I got up and then a huge gush of water came out and I looked at him panicking saying my water broke, it was everywhere and I didn't see the mucus plug prob because I was panicking. This time around I've been loosing my mucus plug little bits at a time for 2 weeks and I'm 35w2d today. I've lost some yesterday morning and more this morning, I lost bits of it every other day before now, I def can say I've been cramping allot aswell, no bloody show though so I know I'm getting close, my body is preparing and I prob won't make it to my C-section day on Nov 8

Answer

I never lost it with my first but with my second I was 2cm dilated at 37weeks and lost plug around 38weeks went into labor 3 days past my due date.

Answer

With my first, I was in active labor, had no sign of my plug the whole pregnancy they sent me home bc I wasn’t dilating fast enough, it came completely out a couple hours after, went home took a nap and went back to the hospital the same night and gave birth at 6AM the next day 🤷🏽‍♀️

Answer

For me instantly for all 3 pregnancies. It was followed by a bloody show an' contractions each time.

Answer

With my first I think I lost it around 38 weeks exactly and my son was born four days later. This time I’m 35 weeks today and haven’t lost it yet. I think I have lost a few little pieces of it over the last month or so but I assume it regenerated. I remember losing it the first time and it was noticeable what it was and no denying it 🤣

Answer

The mucus plug regenerates so it's hard to say. I've definitely been losing some daily at 36W with baby 4 but it's only a sign that some amount of dilation has occurred. I know I was at a 3 for over a week with my first before a membrane strip with no noticeable contractions during that time.

Answer

I lost some of mine this morning and been feeling like shit. Just hope baby stays put a little longer.
