40+5 lost my mucus plug is labor near?

So I'm 40 weeks and 5 days pregnant and totally demented. Bounced on my gym ball for 10 minutes tonight and felt a sensation and my mucus plug came away. I'm due to be induced a week today. How likely am I to go into labor myself?

Eh, i had quite a dramatic birth but the epidural was the most seamless part of it.

I would get out walking if you in any way can, years later looking back that seems to have been the thing that really worked.

Gardeniafleur · 22/01/2022 07:59

But I def couldn’t walk at that point as was t very well, and it was all fine! Sorry, didn’t mean to sound like you should be out hiking or whatever.
