What happens after I pass mucus plug?

Nahimabuck

Greetings,
I'm 36wks 4dys. Lost mucus plug yesterday.. Midwife says 1cm dilated, feeling lots of pelvic pain and pressure but no real contractions.

You wait?  Call your midwife if you're worried about accompanying symptoms that appear to be increasing?

I always equate loss of mucous plug to implantation bleeding from TTC. It really doesn't mean a whole lot until you ACTUALLY go into labor (or actually get a BFP) since it can be hours, days, or weeks until anything happens still.

Exactly what PPs said. Ive lost pieces of mine for a couple weeks now. It can actually regenerate and doesnt mean a thing.

I think the only exception to this is if it is bloody mucus- this usually happens closer to actual labor. But Im not a Dr.

I lost my mucus plug and my water broke at the same time. Even then it's not for sure you're ready, the membranes can heal themselves. Though definitely call your MW for more info.

My doc told me as soon as I lose my MP that I need to go to Taco Bell and get whatever I want.

I still remember writing K.I.T. and H.A.G.S. in my friends yearbooks!
