Not sure if people still use this, but no family
Of mine have ever had a sweep so there unable to help. But has anyone lost their mucus plug after a sweep? I’m slowly loosing mine I had my first sweep done yesterday at 3 and have been loosing my plug since this morning (very slowly) this is my first child I am 40 weeks +3d... just wondering if this has happened to anyone how long after labour started?

I was losing mine for about a week before I even had a sweep. Had the sweep, had my bloody show the next morning and then nothing.
The day after that I went to hospital due to reduced movements and they offered me another sweep, had it at about 2.30pm, felt contractions at 9.30pm by 11pm I was in hospital and I gave birth to my dd at 11.31pm x

Yes I lost mine after a sweep, I'd had baby within 24 hours after

But on the next two pregnancies I had sweep(s) lost plug and still no baby, was induced both times

Good luck

Same as PP... had a sweep and plug came out over the next few days. Then the build contractions followed by a super fast and furious 1hr active labour at 40+1.
I don't think it will be long once the plus starts coming out OP!

Still nothing! Still loosing my plug had contractions from about 6 for around 12 hours on the 21st but nothing since then! Hoping she arrives soon as really don’t want to be induced. 40+5 today

You should ask your midwife to perform a second sweep, you can have them every 2 days. And imo it depends who does them, my consultant barely did anything, the midwife who did my second one on maternity unit got right up in there lol!
