Not in labor as of now, 3 days later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-105277 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 14:15:55 +0000 red_seattle 105277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My labor was 37 hours long, and I lost some at 39 weeks 6 days (the day before labor started/2 days before the baby was born). And then I lost the rest of it + bloody show about 12 hours into early labor. I think I was only 2cm dilated at that point. I thought surely when I lost it that it would mean I had dilated more (enough to be admitted and get an epidural???), but no dice, the hospital wouldn't admit me yet and had me keep walking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-105261 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:59:57 +0000 Crisark 105261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hoping for you the labor fairy to makes it's appearance :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-105254 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:55:46 +0000 lemondrop 105254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine about 2 hours before my water broke.</p> <p>Here's hoping your labor comes on soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-105250 Thu, 29 Mar 2012 13:54:02 +0000 skibobrown 105250@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just wanted to update that I lost mine this morning. For me it was less plug-like and more like a very large quantity of EWCM that poured out of me with a little pink-tinged blood. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96720 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 17:14:12 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 96720@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost my mucus plug 3 weeks before I went into labor so it was definitely not an indication that labor was coming soon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96644 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:28:10 +0000 volksgirl64 96644@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I believe I lost my mucus plug while already in labor and my water broke at the same time! I sat down and felt something come out of me (and I hadn't seen it prior to this) so we changed my pants and headed for the hospital! I'd been having contractions for 14 hours at this point so we were ready. This was 2 days before DD and about 10 hours from birth! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96630 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:20:53 +0000 banana 96630@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine 1 or 2 days (it's hard to remember exactly) before labor. And it was totally obvious that it was a mucus plug. I had never seen one (in real life or pictures) and I just knew. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96596 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 15:00:27 +0000 sandy 96596@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So many typos when commenting in my phone :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96594 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:59:45 +0000 sandy 96594@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost my miscues plug 6 days before I went into labor </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96590 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 14:56:48 +0000 Rubies 96590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine at 40w1d - three days before I gave birth. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96534 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:52:20 +0000 pelikila 96534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never lost mine where I knew about it. No bloody show, no mucus plug, none of it. I was 80% effaced and 2 cm dilated for at least 3 weeks prior to going into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96522 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:46:26 +0000 skibobrown 96522@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chopsuey119: Lol!</p> <p>@sulli301: Wow. That's great that you were already more than halfway there before you even technically went into labor. Did you have a quick labor in the end, since you only had 5 cm and 25% effacement left to go? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96516 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:43:57 +0000 sulli301 96516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost my mucus plug about a week before DD was born! It made me so impatient because I was dilated 5 cm &amp; 75% effaced too, so I thought I would go into labor that day :? lol good luck!!! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96513 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:42:25 +0000 chopsuey 96513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost my mucus plug about a week before I went into labor. I stepped out of the shower and it was stuck to my inner thigh! Imagine my surprise when I saw it! It was super long and so pretty I made DH take a pic of it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96501 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:27:12 +0000 SAHM0811 96501@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>with my first, i lost my MP after being in labor about 12 hours (at around 5cm dilated). with my second, i lost some of it at around 38 weeks and 38.5 weeks, but didn't give birth til about a week later at 39 weeks &amp; 5 days.</p> <p>good luck! you're in the home stretch!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96492 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:21:59 +0000 heffalump 96492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine a couple of weeks before I went into labor. I don't think there's any way to know labor is soon except your water breaking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96486 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:11:15 +0000 skibobrown 96486@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also feel free to comment on how soon after losing your mucus plug you actually went into labor... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96485 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:11:13 +0000 Mrs. Bee 96485@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i lost my mucus plug a couple hours into labor with charlie. he came on his due date. i didn't lose it with olive because she came 5 weeks early </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/losing-your-mucus-plug#post-96484 Mon, 19 Mar 2012 13:10:10 +0000 skibobrown 96484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 38 weeks, and eagerly awaiting baby's arrival at this point. At my last appointment I was 1 cm dilated and 50% effaced, so I keep looking to see if I'm going to lose my mucus plug as a sign that labor might be near. So far nada... But then I read online that you might not even notice when you lose your mucus plug. So, for the ladies who have already been there: </p>
