How soon did labour start after you lost your mucus plug?

[mytime2]

Just that really!

Have lost mine this morning and desperately hoping nothing happens for at least a week!

Six hours

2 hours for me

I can't remember if it was a week or a day. It was a Saturday and I went into labour on the Sunday evening

I lost mine at 8:30am. Labour started at about 3am next morning and baby was born at 12:30 that day (so 16 hours later)

Same day, both times.

I lost bits of mucus plug for about 3 weeks before labour, but contractions started immediately after the bloody show.

Lost mine once labour had already started the first time, and never saw it the second- not very helpful sorry!

DD, I woke up with contractions, went to the loo and lost my plug.

DS, lost it last Saturday and only 29 weeks today so keeping my legs crossed!

My waters went literally 1 minute after losing my plug! DD born 12 hours later.

Oh wow really quickly for most of you! Not the news I was hoping for 😂

12 hours second child. Didn't happen with first child!

About 3 days i think

Days for me but I was actually induced so could have been much longer x

8 hours

I lost mine at hospital when fully duilated

I lost mine after my second stretch and sweep at 40+9. I think I lost it at around 2pm then went into labour at 8-9pm. DD was born the next morning at 1:45am.

Lost mine on Tuesday, it's now Monday night and I'm still very much pregnant - so almost a week and no sign of labour and I'm 40+8!

Why not the news you were hoping for? Day not convenient?

I lost mine once the early stages of labour were well underway.

I think I was already in early labour when I lost mine. Contractions got intense within a few hours, and baby was born by emcs about 5 hours after plug.

Lost mine on a Saturday at around 1pm...contractions started Sunday at 8pm and little man arrived Monday at 11pm. Good luck to you for whenever labour starts x

I’m wondering this too as I lost mine this evening
Been feeling off the past 24 hours - more aches and cramps than usual, been feeling very sick
About half an hour I felt a pop too
I’m only 35+5 and haven’t even packed my hospital bag!!

DS1 was born 12 hours after I lost mine.

I'd had the baby in less than 24 hours of losing the plug both times.

My first I had a small bit of mucus & blood then waters went about 3 hours later but no contractions so was induced

Second lost a bit at 35 weeks then nothing until 39+4. Lost some (not the whole amount) at 2.30pm, contractions started at 10.30pm & she was born at 4.15pm the following day.

For both of them losing my mucus plug was the first sign of labour.

About 30 minutes after I lost mine!
