Losing mucus plug?

5 replies

Hi all

So I'm pretty sure I've had my mucus plug coming away over the past few days and today it had a little brown blood in it. I'm slightly panicking as I'm 37 weeks and not yet ready!! Did anyone's plug come away but labour didn't come on for a while? I know some people lose there plug days/ weeks before actual labour

Thanks!

I had a week! My friends went at week 33 and she had her baby at 38 weeks.
But I also know people who have lost it during labour. Every person is different x x

No sorry. I sat on the toilet and it fell out of me in 2 seconds flat and disappeared down the pipe before I could even inspect it!
Was 39 weeks and gave birth then

I'm two weeks and counting from my 'bloody show', and have my fingers crossed to make it another week to 39 weeks.

I'm really hoping my labour doesn't start yet as baby currently isn't head down either and I'm really hoping to avoid a c section!! So hoping my plug coming away isn't an indication of labour coming on anytime soon
