How long after passing mucus plug did you go into labour?

[flowerygirl]

Been having pains for a couple of days, they've really ramped up since this morning. Sometimes every 5 mins, sometime I'll go half an hour between them. They are much more frequent if I walk about.

TMI but think I've passed the mucus plug fully now as each time I go to the loo a bit more blood is passed.

This will be my second. Just wondering when to go to hospital...

I went a week after passing mine

40 hours until I went in to proper labour but niggled all the way through those 40 hours.

An hour. And dd was born 11 hours after that. Good luck!

I lost the plug on Wednesday, DD was born Friday evening.

Plug passed in three 'bits' on Thursday, Friday, and Sunday. Still waiting for labour to kick in... But it's my first and my 'due date' was only yesterday so I know I'm in it for the long haul!

Couple of hours xx

Both times contractions started within 1-2 hours.
First time from mucous plug to delivery was around 36 hours.
Second time was around 27 hours.

About 12 hours with mine x

DS1 was born 12 hours after I lost the plug.

Two weeks. And after a sweep. And ARM. Didn't mean much in my case.

Mine didn't go until I'd been contracting for an hour.

No idea, either time!

Waters went about 24 hours after I lost the mucous plug, ds born 22 hours after waters broke. Best of luck!

Woke 7am with mild cramps which happened every 15minutes. 5pm went for a wee and the whole plug fell out in one go, contractions instantly dropped to 4minutes apart. Got to hospital just before 7pm, waters went, projectile vomited, told I was 7cm and "it'll take a good while yet" and DS arrived 3hrs later.

About 20 hours after I lost a bit of it I rang the hospital and they said to come on for observations. I was having very mild contractions, they kept me and gave me a c section that evening (I was booked for a planned one about ten days later).
