What was your first sign of labor?
I lost my mucous plug today and am wondering how long after that did you go into labor?

I lost my mucus plug over a week or so. Then my water just broke.
@cheert16: I hope it means labor for you. I know you are over being pregnant and just want to meet your little boy!!

For me, I lost my mucous plus on a Thursday morning, and by Thursday evening I was in early labor. (In the meantime, I had tons of Braxton-Hicks that were sometimes spaced at regular intervals.) DD didn't arrive until Sunday though...

I lost my mucus plug weeks before I went into labor. My first sign of labor was contractions. Once they started (at 10 pm) they became regular pretty fast and I had lo at 2pm the next day.

With my first baby, my water broke and then about 2 hours later I was in active labour.
With my second baby, I woke up thinking that I had brutal gas (!!!), and after about 30 minutes, I realized it was mild contractions. 2.5 hours later, baby was in our arms!

I started losing pieces of mucous plug for a few days before. Just cramping and then I was in labor.

My contractions started almost immediately after my mucus plug fell out. I gave birth 13 hours later!

@Smurfette: I hope so too! They finally scheduled an induction date- at 41 weeks 6 days-my midwife seems to think he is going to come before friday though! I am 2 centimeters dilated and 75%effaced, at least there is something going on down there!

my water broke at EXACTLY 40 weeks. i was humongous and extremely uncomfortable, 100% dilated, and I think I was at 2.5 or 4 but no other impending signs. Water broke, plug felt out, baby 2.5 hours later!

I started to lose some of my mucus plug in the morning, and it was quickly followed by mild contractions. The contractions lasted all day, and I went to the hospital at midnight.

I lost my mucus plug Sunday night, woke up with fairly regular but not close together contractions on Tuesday morning (15-20 minutes apart), which slowly intensified and got closer together into late Tuesday evening/early Wednesday morning when I went into active labor. I delivered Wednesday afternoon.

I lost my mucus plug over a week before labor!
My first sign of labor was that I took a big poop. Once I went contractions started almost immediately. The first two were four minutes apart and they never slowed down... Baby was out 12 hours later.

I lost my mucus plug about 4 weeks before my due date. My actual labor started with some mild cramps a couple hours before my water broke
