With my first pregnancy I lost bits and pieces of my mucus plug throughout the last trimester but I had a “bloody show” the day of my due date and then had him the next day. It was my mucus plug just with what looked like old blood? Contractions started not too long after I lost it

I lost my plug at week 37 and until now nothing

I lost my mucus plug at 39 + 2 days still waiting. My first pregnancy I lost it at 37 weeks and made it to 40 weeks.

You can lose your mucus plug multiple times since it regenerates itself. Or you can just lose It once but it's not an indication that labor will start soon. If you had a bloody show with your mucus plug then it will give you a better idea that labor is coming soon

With my first, I lost my mucus plug at 37+1 and he came at 39+3. With my daughter I just had, I lost my mucus plug at 38+3 and she came at 39+1. So it could be really soon, could be several days, or still could be a week or more. Hoping you're one of the lucky ones who loses it and goes into labor within hours!!!

i lost my mucas plug at 38 weeks, i’m 40 weeks today and nothing has happened 🥲

Tbh with my first my water broke and I been rushed to hospital but with my second I never lost my mucus plug and neither did my waters broke lol I just started have really mild contractions I started timing them which started coming and going every 4-5 mins during the dah but during the night my contractions became stronger and unbearable so went in to hospital and they kept me in and had to have my waters broke the following day and kept me on the monitor

I lost my mucus plug in chunks during week 36. Now I'm 39+4 and I haven't really had any other signs of labor.

Lost my mucus plug at 37, im 37+6 today and no signs of contractions yet.

I lost chunks of mine a couple weeks ago and a huge chunk today after getting a membrane sweep yesterday. I get induced tomorrow so I doubt I’ll go into labor before then but it can mean labor may be near or nothing at all. Don’t have to worry unless you feel contractions, water breaks, or there’s bloody show.
