How long after losing your mucus plug did you go into labour?

[NameChange784]

If you lost your mucus plug naturally (i.e. not as the result of a sweep) before labour started, how long was it before you went into labour?

I think it was about 10-12 hours (it was almost 13 years ago so trying to remember )

Lost mine 2wk before. It can replenish itself if lost too early. Definitely not a reliable indicator of Labour.

Approx 0.1 seconds.

About 22 hours

Nearly 2 weeks, baby 1. Lost at 40+1 induction at 40+12.
Baby 2, lost at 39+1 induced at 40+10 so over 2 weeks.

Two weeks for me.

I lost it at about 8am, baby was born at 12 noon.

7 hours

Errrm, around 3 hours the first time and maybe an hour the next time.

Waters went with the plug the first time so never really noticed it.

About 36 hours. Labour did last about 52 hours though (obviously that includes early labour) so he wasn't born until 4 days after I lost my plug

I lost a little bit of it about 12 hours before my contractions started. It wasn’t until I’d been in labour for 12 hrs that I lost a lot more of it and realised the first bit had been a tiny fraction!

Some at 24 weeks with my second went on til 39 weeks, it clearly replenished and I can’t really remember losing it after that. A few days with my first and about an hour before my third arrived having been in slow stop start labour for days.

About two minutes 😁

Started losing mine gradually from 32 weeks with my second, just replenished itself over the remaining weeks- baby came at 41+2.
With my first I never noticed it so must have been during labour.

I was already in Labour and had been for 24hrs when my plug went.

But as soon as it went it was like someone flicked a switch and my contractions went from 5/10 to 500/10 in an instant 🤣

12 hours

Thanks everyone! 🤞🏻

About 24 hours

I never did! I lost it at 37 weeks and nothing happened for two weeks but then I had a planned csection anyway at 39

About 30 hours and counting now...
