Morning ladies, I was just wondering for any of you who have had babies previous. Once your mucus plug started coming away how long was it before you went in to labour? :)

I went into labour 2 days after my plug came away.

My mucus plug didn't come out until I was in established labour!

The plug, my waters and first contraction were all within 10 minutes of each other!

With DS (third DC) I lost mine just before my due date and was induced at 40+15 Sad

Baby 1: started about two/three weeks before any action. Bit more came away after sweeps. Baby came at 40+11.

Baby 2: I never saw any of it. Assume it got lost during birth. 39w.

Kettricken · 04/08/2017 08:31

I went into labour about 8 hours later

fuckthis12 · 04/08/2017 08:34

Almost a fortnight before!

BoredOnMatLeave · 04/08/2017 08:42

About 12 hours before my waters went. Then baby was born 12 hours after that.

Thought it came away about 2 weeks before though but it was a very small amount compared to what actually happened before labour.

@thewiseoldelf - me too, with my first DC. How annoying! I was so excited, then......nothing. Haha x

Poppysmamma · 05/08/2017 09:34

Contractions, waters and plug all came at the same time for me.

BeyondThePage · 05/08/2017 09:35

mine were both an hour or so before my waters broke which was an hour or so before contractions started (39 weeks)

harleysmammy · 05/08/2017 15:54

I was loosing my plug a week before I went into labour at 39 weeks. Never had a bloody show

MeltorPeltor · 05/08/2017 15:57

4 hours between plug going and baby arriving
