40+6 lost mucus plug GIVE ME HOPE

[Ovulationstation]

40+6 today I am losing the will, so uncomfortable. Lost a maaaaaassive chunk of mucus plug this morning please tell me labour is near?

how long after losing the plug did you go into labour? I’m due a section on Tuesday if baby doesn’t arrive as I refused an induction after my first horrible experience. Really want to get this baby out naturally!

had some cramps last night that felt like braxton hicks, but a lot more painful probably lasted 3 hours then died off. Not sure what I’m looking for either as I had induction first time. It’s a minefield

Lost mine at 34+3. Totally dismissed by the midwife as not being indicative of anything. My waters broke 2 days later and DS was born at 35 weeks exactly (premature but healthy).

I believe they can regenerate, but at your stage of pregnancy I would imagine/hope that this would be a good indicator that things are starting to happen and labour isn't too far away.

Lost mucus plug around 5am. Labour ramped up throughout the day. Baby born 4.52pm!

I always went into labour within 24 hours of losing my plug, though that’s not the case for everyone, clearly.

Following!

Any movement OP?

Seems like it started pretty quickly for you all. Gives me hope haha. @RapunzelHadExtensionsi wish there was! Not even had any cramps since 😭

I gave birth a few hours after losing my mucous plug, so labour could be imminent!

Lost mine 5 am Monday morning. Baby born ( back to back forceps delivery) 3pm Thursday. Was not the best fun I've ever had.

@AuldTheDeepMindedaww sorry, it’s bloody awful isn’t it! really wanted to try & avoid forceps this time, but I guess you don’t know what’s gonna happen do you

I gave birth at 41 weeks exactly and was also booked for a section in the very near future so was very apprehensive. I had contractions one night and then nothing for another two nights before going into labour the following morning. I hope it happens for you. Good luck x

With my second I lost mine at 9pm and started getting proper strong contractions at 10pm and she was born at 3am.

I started having contractions 2 days after losing my mucus plug. My DD ended up being born 4 days after the contractions started by emergency c section so I was 40+5 at this point. Good luck OP, hope it happens soon for you 🤞

Nothing happened since! Got my section in 2 days, so praying it happens 🤞🏻

thanks everyone 💜
