I freaked out but everything was ok. I then lost it several times throughout the third trimester but eventually had a semi-induction (manual sweep for unrelated reasons) at 38 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-at-35-weeks#post-2579264 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 19:47:36 +0000 LAZB 2579264@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I lost mine at 35+5 with my second, I had her a few days later. I lost the whole thing and had my bloody show, and the doctor still thought I wouldn't have her for a week or two because apparently it's common for it to grow back. All that to say that it's hard to say for your case, but I hope you can keep baby in for a little longer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-at-35-weeks#post-2579196 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:31:16 +0000 CoffeeMom 2579196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did talk to my midwife a few hours ago. There's not a lot to do unless contractions ramp up. She said it could mean nothing or it could mean that labor is imminent. I've had a few very strong contractions, but that's not too unusual. I guess we will see! This is all new territory for me since I experienced nothing like this with my first. Thanks so much for your kind words! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-at-35-weeks#post-2579195 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:28:24 +0000 pinkb 2579195@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lost mine at 32 weeks and was in labor. They stopped it and I was put on bed rest and meds until I went into labor again at 36 weeks and has DD. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-at-35-weeks#post-2579189 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:21:06 +0000 jaguar 2579189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine at 36+4 and was in early labour then, but it was ALL of it at once. (gross!)</p> <p>If it's just a portion, it could still be a while away - but if you're already on bed rest, it could mean something in your case! Have you had a chat to your docs? x </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-at-35-weeks#post-2579185 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:16:52 +0000 mfa_lady 2579185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never lost any of my mucous plug until I was in active labor ( :shocked: ) but I've heard if you start losing early it can regenerate.</p> <p>Good luck, mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-at-35-weeks#post-2579169 Thu, 30 Jun 2016 18:02:06 +0000 CoffeeMom 2579169@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost part of my mucus plug this afternoon. I'm 35w2d. Has anyone else lost their plug this early and not gone into labor? I've been on bed rest for preterm contractions for several weeks anyway, but would like to keep baby in for a while longer! </p>
