So I am 40+2 today and I had my membranes swept two days ago. I just lost my mucous plug/bloody show and I'm wondering if this is occurring naturally or just from the procedure. Thoughts?
-
It could be either
I'm not sure how you would go about finding out if it was from the sweep or spontaneous but I would guess it was the sweep since you only had it within 48hrs.
-
Could be either! I lost mine in the morning, had an appt at 3 pm, and my water broke at 5!
-
@miramira: @sorrycharlie: that's what I thought everyone would say...boo guess I'll just have to live in uncertainty for a little longer.
-
Could be either but if it makes you feel any better, when I lost it and had my bloody show, baby was born 10 hours later!!!
-
@ellewoods84: That's what I'm hoping for!!
-
@MrsHansen82: when I lost mine, I still never went into labor and had to be induced. Not to be a downer but wanted to give another perspective. Hope this is the big sign for you and baby is on it's way!!!!
-
@MrsHansen82: Wow, it's Lose Your Mucus Plug Day for the January ladies. I bet you or keepmecalmcarrie will be on your way soon!
-
@Mrs. Confetti: Was yours tinged with blood at all? Our childbirth educator said that makes things more exciting haha
-
If it was just your mucus plug, it doesn't mean much, but if it was blood-tinged, typically labor starts within 24hrs. I suspect you'll be seeing that baby really soon!
-
Eek, hope this is it for you!!

You never know... It happens so quickly for some women & takes forever for others, like me. I lost my mucous plug (blood-tinged) something like 4-5 days before giving birth but having contractions all the while. My dang water just would not break! I sincerely hope this is not the case for you!!
-
Thinking of you and hoping you will be in labor soon! Mucous plug can be tricky but its never a bad sign!
