Slow pre labour from Monday to Wednesday midnight, lost plug (blood streaked) at midnight and had baby 11 hours later.

Think I lost it whilst in established labour with my second, so probably about 4 hours before she was born.

Mine didn't come until I had been pushing for a while. Strange as I thought it always comes first ??
