First baby- mucus plug

[c307]

Today is my due date this morning I lost my mucus plug (pretty sure I did anyway). What do I expect now? I've read it could be days still, anyone got stories to share from first pregnancies? Thank you!

I’m so sorry....but it means hee-haw really

I lost mine and was even 2cm dilated when I rocked up for my induction at 41+6 😩

I hope it means you’re close! Congratulations

Lost mine at 11am on the Wednesday and has my baby at 3.49am on the Thursday! Good luck!

@TheLuckDragon wow very quick turnaround! When did you start getting pains/contractions? I've had nothing all day since...

Have you had any contractions or pain? Things moved quickly for me, I went to the hospital to be checked and was 4 cm dilated. Have you contacted midwife? I took another 31 hours after that though...

Gave birth two weeks to the day.

Lost the plug gradually over the space of a week. Every time I thought there can't possibly be more, there was!
My waters broke exactly a week after I started losing it.

Mine came away gradually over the week before dd was born.

Take it easy for now and keep hydrated!

I actually started lightly contracting on the Tuesday, lost my plug on the Wednesday and contracted lightly all day Wednesday. It started getting really painful about 6.30pm Wednesday, got to hospital at around 10pm and I was 7cm!

Mine didn’t come away until I was in early labour. It’s a step in the right direction anyway!

I didn’t lose mine until I’d already been in early labour for around 12 hours, both times.
It’s a bit ‘how long is a piece of string?’ But hopefully means things will be moving for you soon!

Lost mine at lunchtime, waters broke 12 hours later, ds born another 12 hours later.

Fingers crossed it's a sign for you OP

If you’re only “pretty sure” it was your plug it may well only have been part of it . Mine came away in one go and there was no mistaking it. Baby arrived precisely one week later at 38+1.

Agree with the above, I thought I’d lost mine a few days before labour started but then I really lost it, and there was no mistaking it. I must have just lost a clump of it.

I lost a very small amount about two weeks before my due date. At 40+3 I had a sweep, lost loads and loads of mucous plug on 40+4 and 40+5. My waters broke on 40+6 and I started contracting. He was eventually born on 41+1!

I lost my plug 5 days before DC1 was born, the other 3 times have been when I was in actual labour.

Went for a sweep today and more mucus plug came out but cervix is not in the right position yet and still too far back? Anyone else had this?

I had a vaginal examination at 40 weeks exactly and my cervix was high and closed and a sweep was not possible. I went into labour at 40+2 and he was born 40+3. An examination only tells you about your cervix at that time - things can change very quickly
