Another Plug Question
Just curious......
After you lost your plug, how long before you went into labor? I know it could be days or even weeks.
I def lost it this morning. It was pretty obvious that it was my plug, but it wasn't bloody like I've read in some places. I know it's normal so no need to call my OB. Just curious how long I may or may not have left. I am currently 36 weeks 5 days.

Re: Another Plug Question
I go into labor within 1 or 2 days. I've been having a lot of discharge lately but I know I haven't lost my plug. Until I don't see that thick bloody discharge, I know nothing is happening. I have lost it with all my previous pregnancy.

Another Plug Question
I've been losing pieces for about 3-4 weeks now (am 39 weeks today) unfortunately it can regenerate so its not always an indication of imminent labor.

Omg I would not be ready in 48 hrs! Lol. Hope I last till next fri. But I know on her terms not mine. So hard being a teacher and worrying about students and their grades and filling in someone on my subject all before going.

Re: Another Plug Question
I was losing it for weeks and kept thinking I had actually LOST it. That was until the night of August 25th when I went to the bathroom and it literally took me seven different rolls of toilet paper to get myself clean from all the mucus that was coming out. Is it like that?
My little boy arrived the next day (went into labor less than 3 hrs later) :). I was 39+1 when I lost it for good.
ETA: Mine was not bloody either. I didn't have any bleeding until I was at the hospital and contractions were 2 min apart.

That's what I was losing weeks before going into labor. That may only be part of it. (See my previous response.)

Wow just read. 7 rolls?!!!
No it wasn't like that. But I did google image of mucus plug n looked more like those.
I don't think I'm going in a few days. But I don't think I'll make it to feb 3 either. I guess only time will tell

Re: Another Plug Question
I thought I lost my plug at 38 weeks, 6 days. Called the doc to say it'll be soon, and he asked if I was sure it wasn't my water breaking. I said I had no idea, so he wanted to see me. Went in, and it was apparently my water breaking. 2 days before, my doc checked and I was no where near losing it...not effaced or dialated. So, guessing my water broke and I lost my plug all in one.
