When I wiped after peeing I saw a TINY TINY (think 1 millimeter) chunk of blood on the tissue. Not a smear, but a chunk, so I knew it had to be SOMEthing...?? Especially since I didn't see even one spot of blood through the entire pregnancy. Still never saw the plug but I did deliver 24 hours later! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-142934 Mon, 30 Apr 2012 21:08:12 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 142934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh.

Late that afternoon I lost the rest and then my water broke that night. I never went into labor, they had to induce me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141876 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 21:29:11 +0000 sulli301 141876@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I lost mine days before anything real happened! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141852 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 20:38:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 141852@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost it before I had regular contractions (my 37-38 week I was having braxton hicks every day regularly), but I ended up having to be induced before I was able to go into labor on my own, but it happened 4 days before I was induced. I think I would have gone into labor sometime that week if I had been allowed to. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141775 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:23:35 +0000 cupcakemama 141775@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never noticed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141739 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:31:10 +0000 heffalump 141739@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine weeks before I went into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141734 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:24:20 +0000 MsMamaBear 141734@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine a week before my water broke. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141722 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 15:03:41 +0000 chopsuey 141722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep!

It was not that much at first and then a day or two later there was a large amount of it. My friend lost hers after her contractions started. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141662 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:31:44 +0000 pastemoo 141662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine a little while ago (or part of it?), and have had contractions since 27 weeks, but still no signs of "real labor" now at 37 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141659 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:10:46 +0000 kgbee 141659@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 18 hours of contractions before finally breaking through my mucous plug. It was substantial! And then I leaked mucous for about 6 hours afterward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141657 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 12:03:26 +0000 lemondrop 141657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost it about 2 hours before my water broke. I had minor cramping in the mornings for the previous 2 days, but no real contractions at that time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141653 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:50:20 +0000 Sweet T 141653@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine before having any other signs of labor. Mine started coming out in pieces over a couple of weeks. (Sorry, TMI!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-lose-your-mucous-plug#post-141649 Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:35:59 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 141649@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I keep hearing of women losing their plug or getting their bloody show. Does this happen to everyone before labor, or only some people? I was wondering if it usually comes before there have been any other signs of labor?<br /> I find myself always checking for mine! </p>
