How soon from losing plug to labour?

As the title says, how long did it take from you losing your plug Envy to going into labour? I think I lost mine this morning so am now frantically checking all possible twinges Grin
It’s daft as this is my second but I don’t remember losing it with my first!

Lost my plug after a sweep at 40+3, it looked very similar to yours, then had a bloody show about a week later which was dark red. I was then induced at 42 weeks (sorry).

Thanks all, it’s not looking like anything is moving fast here... it’s been 24+ hours and other than some twinges, nothing to report Sad poor DH was all geared up to dash home from work yesterday bless him!

I’m going to get on the exercise ball later in the hopes that gets things moving too

@Ohshitiveturnedintomymother thinking about it, my plug was like a heavy thing. It fell out of me and shot down the toilet so I only saw it for a split second. I'm wondering if you've just had a big day of discharge!

Stairs. That got me going. Up and down and up and down.

2 hours, lost plug, waters broke, baby arrived within 2 hours.
Second baby within 90 mins, 3rd baby 30 mins.

It could be soon or much later.
Good luck Thanks

I did wonder that but it was definitely quite thick and pink tinged, not what I have been having. But you could be right

Huh! I wish. Beginning to think I got over excited too early Grin

No change other than lots more very sticky mucus and cramping but not ramping up to contractions yet.
