contractions before losing mucus plug

It could take a couple weeks before you go into labor after losing your mucus plug

With my first i lost it 3 weeks before i went into labor. And with my second i lost it 2 weeks before my water broke.

With my first I had contractions at 5am not painful at all then at 7am I lost my mucus plug (which was a bloody one tmi) so I called my Dr cuz I had a apt that morning anyways told me to go to l&d I got there at 8 and right before the Dr checked me my water broke!

I've had three bloody shows since losing mucus plug. My mum thinks he gonna be here before I get induced on Thursday.

I am losing parts of my mucus plug too. I asked my doctor and he said losin your plug doesn't mean anything about going into labor, the mucus plug regenerates many times during a pregnacy. Only time you need to worry is if you have actually contractions or your water breaks.

Nothing bad don't worrie my first pregnancy I lost my mucus plug a month 1/2 before my water even broke and everything was fine

Im 38 weeks 2 days and i just lost my mucus plug today so far no hard contractions

All women are different. I never noticed losing of the mucus plug and they broke my water for me and as soon as they did I had to push. So just listen to ur body. Contractions was my only sign that I was in labor, but like I said everyone is different.

I lost part of my mucus plug at 21 weeks and had no problems after. Now at 25 I've been losing it throughtout the day this time some parts had a little blood. At first I had no cramps so I wasn't worried but as the day goes on I'm having more and more cramping. How do you tell the difference between cramping and contractions? Not sure if I should be worried or not.

Everyone is different, but with my first pregnancy i lost my mucus plug and i started having contractions light contractions and throughout the day they got more intense. I gave birth 19hrs later. Maybe you will be giving birth soon too. Just thought I'd shine a little light for you. Congrats.

My contractions started before my mucus plug started coming out (I lost it all at once before I had my son, not gradually) then my water half broke, still having contractions, and they had to break it the rest of the way at the hospital, contractions for me started before my water broke though, it varies for everyone. Did your mucus plug start coming all at once today or have you been losing it??

yesterday and today when i wipe it feels slippery, is that my mucus plug? It looks like mucus on the toilet paper. Im sorry TMI. After you fully lose your mucus plug do u go into labor??

I have been losing big chunks of my mucus plug all day today. This has happened before but it is much more today than ever. Anyone experience this and go into labor? I'm 38 weeks.

With my first pregnancy I lost my plug when my contractions started. With my second pregnancy, I started losing it weeks before I went into labor. With this last pregnancy, I didn't lose it. I got small contractions and they took me straight to perform the c-section so I never seen my plug. From what I know it can be hours or weeks.

Im 39wks n 4 days ive been losing my mucus plug since I was 36wks still nothing has happen I jus have bad pelvic pain I feel pain n my button even contractions but not enough 2 go n as u can c losing ur mucus plug doesnt really mean labor right away..

I've been losing my mucus plug since 36W, I'm now 40W and still losing it slowly, so it can take a long time. Unless your cramping starts coming and going, going to your back (in a regular, timeable pattern) or you get painful contractions/your water breaks, it's not necessary to go to the doctors. You can still work, the more active you are, the better chance you have of dilating more, and losing more of your mucus plug & getting started with labor sooner!

I lost my plug a week before i went into labor

Ladies I have questions!! How long after losing your mucus plug do you generally go into labor? Im a ftm and have soooo many questions, please help!

Yes, your birthing class will explain all of these things. :) Not everyone loses their mucus plug noticeably, though a bloody show is normal. Your mucus plug is a thick, stretch CM that looks like mucus. Contractions can happen before or after. Water doesn't always break on it's own. Losing your mucus plug and the contractions can begin a few weeks before you actually go into active labor.

Happened to me too after inserting 4 capsules the next day lost my plug and it kind of had a yellow tinge which I think was just from the oil, was definitely my plug though :) Sometimes labour can start straight away or days or weeks after losing the plug, I got my hopes up after losing it yesterday n my contractions stopped :( so now I'm just waiting and using primrose oil still xxx

Did your baby kick before labor? How long did it took you to go into labor after losing your mucus plug? I'm a ftm, 39+3days and I just lose my mucus plug a couple of hours ago. I know it can mean that labor is near but it can also mean nothing.

I'm a ftm and I'm at 40w6d and i know ive just started losing my mucus plug. however,i don't know how much mucus plug to expect. I've already lost a glob about the size of a quarter,and it looked like a big green booger. It wasnt blood tinged or brown so I'm wondering, Have i lost the whole thing or only a piece? How big/much should there be? If only a piece,When i lose the rest should it be pink or brown tinged or could it just be green like the last chunk?

Tightening could be contractions or just Braxton hicks contractions. Losing your mucus plug isn't a sign of labor. How often are you feeling the contractions?

When did you lose your mucus plug and how long after losing it did yoy go into labor. I jeard it can be a day or two or a week or two.

s woman like me that were only 1cm and went into labor 4 days early. A mucus plug can regenerate, all losing some means is that your atleast a little dilated. For some woman their water doesn't break naturally, mine never did even after 10 hours of contractions every 3-5 minutes.
