I lost another big bit of it at 37w3d, went in for a check-up and had to be induced that day because of pre-e. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2175041 Tue, 12 May 2015 01:15:53 +0000 sometimesshesings 2175041@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost part of mine around 39 weeks and went into labor the same day. But a friend just lost hers slowly, over the course of weeks. She found this very confusing, especially since the Braxton Hicks came and went in varying degrees of strength during that time. Some bodies seem to more actively prepare in the weeks before labor starts... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2174355 Mon, 11 May 2015 12:30:01 +0000 LindsayInNY 2174355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bumping! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2168446 Wed, 06 May 2015 05:33:09 +0000 Mrs. Coral 2168446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine over like 3 days. Went into labor on the 3rd day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2168393 Tue, 05 May 2015 23:14:32 +0000 MrsMccarthy 2168393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started losing mine about 3 weeks before I went into labor. I know it can regenerate so unless you are having a lot of strong contractions or very dilated I imagine it's fine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2168372 Tue, 05 May 2015 22:52:51 +0000 mamaof4 2168372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>With my 2nd, I went into labor 3 days after my plug showed up. With my 3rd, it was a week after my plug showed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165986 Mon, 04 May 2015 09:40:54 +0000 Astro Bee 2165986@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine (big hunk of snot-like material) approx. 40 minutes before my first contraction, which was 12 hrs before I gave birth. It was 4 days past my due date, and for me it meant labour was imminent. However, I was also 100% effaced (but not at all dilated) when I showed up at the hospital, so it was slightly unusual. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165968 Mon, 04 May 2015 09:36:01 +0000 cascademom 2165968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine during labor which was part of my bloody show when they checked me in triage. Right now like @78h2o: I have a ton more discharge at 36 weeks than I have for the whole pregnancy despite going through a box or two of pantyliners. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165961 Mon, 04 May 2015 09:33:12 +0000 LAZB 2165961@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first time I lost mine during labor (35w3d), although I had lost pieces of it for a week.<br /> The second time I lost mine on Tuesday (35w6d), had my bloody show on Wednesday (36w), water broke on Friday (36w2d), and she was born on Saturday (36w3d).<br /> Keep in mind, it is normal to lose all or part of your mucus plug, but the mucus plug is much larger than you might think, so unless it is a TON, it probably doesn't mean much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165949 Mon, 04 May 2015 09:27:58 +0000 magnolia 2165949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lost mine at 38 weeks after a cervical check, went into labor at 40w3days. Of course I called my doctors in a panic but they basically laughed at me and said it didn't mean anything without signs of labor . :goodluck: :heart: to you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165824 Mon, 04 May 2015 08:14:37 +0000 SeptMomma12 2165824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lost mine - like a giant clump that had to be all or most of it! - at 36 weeks exactly but didn't go into labor until 39+4. Lost the same thing again during labor, so apparently it regenerated? I called my doctor when it happened at 36 weeks just to be sure they weren't concerned, and they weren't. She said it could be hours or it could be weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165817 Mon, 04 May 2015 08:09:47 +0000 78h2o 2165817@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a lot more mucus in the weeks before delivery...sometimes it was a little clumpy, but it was white-yellow in color. I had blood tinged mucus (i.e. "bloody show") a day or two before I went into labor. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165809 Mon, 04 May 2015 07:57:25 +0000 Foodnerd81 2165809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never saw anything until I was already in very very early stages of labor- woke up at 39+5 with mild but consistent contractions, went to the bathroom and had what you described for the next couple hours. Had baby about 24 hours later. But again- I was almost 2 days from my due date. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/mucus-plug-questions#post-2165806 Mon, 04 May 2015 07:54:56 +0000 dc yoga bee 2165806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sooo, I'm pretty sure I lost bits of my mucus plug this weekend :shocked: . I'm 35w3d today. *TMI* but it was pale in color and looked just like blob of snot when I wiped. I had Braxton Hicks contractions off and on all weekend. I don't think it's a yeast infection because it doesn't smell, and I have no itch. </p> <p> I know it doesn't mean labor is imminent, especially at 35 weeks I hope! But, when did you go into labor after you started losing your mucus plug!?! </p>
