Mucus plug? Labor?

Sidney

I’m 37 weeks today and yesterday I went to the restroom and was pretty sure I lost my mucus plug. It was egg white consistency but more of a brown color rather than more red. I had my cervix checked on Friday and was 1cm dilated and spotted slightly after but not much and then the following day this happened. I’ve been having what I think are just slightly more intense Braxton hicks (I’m not feeling any contractions I’m my back, really just my stomach and it getting tight) and horrible lightning crotch and more brownish discharge as well so I’m wondering if labor is just getting closer and closer!

With my second baby I lost my mucus plug on Christmas Eve and then she was born on January 2nd. I was already dilated to a three before Christmas, but I ended up doing lots of deep squats January 1 and had her the next day.

Well, you're 37 weeks so it's somewhat close. But it's hard to say if it's a day, à week or a month away really. You likely only lost some of the mucus plug. But losing it doesn't tell how soon labor is coming.You'll meet your baby soon!Hope you have a safe delivery when time comes 🙏

it’s possible! although your mucus plug regenerates so it doesn’t dictate labor unfortunately
