Currently 38 + 3 and have started losing my mucus plug (with blood in it)... how soon after this did you go into labour? Xx

I lost mine at 6am and contractions started at the same time, went to the hospital and was sent home, went back in about 4 hours later and gave birth at 1am the following day.

Lost in the morning, went into labour that evening

1st pregnancy, didn't lose it until everything was kicking off anyway.

2nd pregnancy, lost it around 3pm and got 1st contractions around 10pm that same evening.

A couple of hours before labour started for all 3, 1st on due date second two just before 38 weeks!

First child 37wks and ended up induced at 41wks. They say they can grow back 🤷🏻‍♀️

Second 37+4 it came away in the morning so much of it and my waters broke 11pm that night she was born at 37+5.

Dc1 about a week. I lost more and more over the week.
I don't remember losing it with dc2

Only lost it with baby 2 - I think it was three days later??

AllOfTheDwarves · 09/11/2022 17:39

Around 35 hours.

ShirleyHolmes · 09/11/2022 17:47

Nope. Lost mine at 39 weeks, induced at 42 weeks….

wibblewobbleball · 09/11/2022 17:51

About 5 days later - but I was induced on day 5!

About 5 days

LoopDiL00p · 09/11/2022 18:05

About 24 hours between losing mucus plug and contractions starting

FrangipaniBlue · 09/11/2022 19:57

I was already in labour but as soon as the plug went it was like someone flicked a switch and it went from "oooh that's a bit uncomfortable" to "GIMME THE DRUGS NOW!!" in an instant lol

A few hours

Started to go slowly about a week before with my first. He was a week late. Didn't go at all with my daughter until labour. She was a week early.

Mine has been coming out on chunks since Tuesday! Along with bellyache and back ache and bad diareah last night.... still waiting x
