Is it possible NOT to lose your mucus plug but go into labor?
Sorry if this is a stupid question but is losing your mucus plug a must before going into labor or can you go into labor without losing it?

I think the cervix opening is what causes the mucus plug to come out. With ds i never noticed losing mine and I was definitely checking!

Re: Is it possible NOT to lose your mucus plug but go into labor?
It is definitely possible! I lost mine in HUGE chunks over several days but just about every BTDT mom I know in real life had no recollection of losing theirs before labor so I was actually in the minority.

Re: Is it possible NOT to lose your mucus plug but go into labor?
With my DS, I had contractions all day. Went to the hospital, and lost my mucous plug during an internal! Poor dr... gross right?

I never lost mine. My water broke and that's what started my labor.

I lost mine DURING labor. Like with every contraction, huge chunks came out. It was gross. Within a few hours, DD was here.
Sending you labor dust!!!

We went to childbirth class today, and were told that many women don't even know that they lost their mucus plugs, because they come out so gradually.

Re: Is it possible NOT to lose your mucus plug but go into labor?
I never lost mine with DD - I was 9 days late. It came out with my bloody show when I was about 5cm dilated and well into labor.

Re: Is it possible NOT to lose your mucus plug but go into labor?
I'm another person that didn't know that I lost it with my first. In retrospect, I think that I slowly lost it the week prior to delivery, but I could be wrong about that

Re: Is it possible NOT to lose your mucus plug but go into labor?
I always looked for mine and never saw it. My water didn't break either, they broke it at the hospital when I went into labor. Sounded possible  Labor vibes!!

Re: Is it possible NOT to lose your mucus plug but go into labor?
I never lost mine (or didn't notice). I just woke up one morning with contractions. Nothing happened before that. All day long, I never lost it either. So, yes, it's possible!
