I'm 37 plus 3 and lost mine this morning. Just wondering when you lost yours and how far away labour was after loosing it?

2 hours! Been having back & leg pain all day (thought it was my pelvic girdle pain) but was probably slow labour over the day. Had a bath as felt crap, lost mucous plug then all go from there. Got to the hospital at 9cm dilated Confused

5 days between losing mucus plug and waters breaking. Thought it'd be quicker!

I was 39+1. I'd had a couple of very mild contractions during the night, noticed I'd lost the plug at 11am, had DS just after midnight - so 13 hours.

My waters went first then plug about 18 h later when I waa already contracting. Is that not normal? Baby turned up about 26h later.
