With dd, I lost my fairy cork the same day I went into labor. I'm wondering if things happened the same way with your first as it did with your second or if things were way different - when it comes to loosing the cork/ going into labor...
I was induced early with Meredith so I never lost the fairy cork with her. With Alex, I think it was about two weeks between losing it and going into labor. The super gross part was that I didn't just lose it - I apparently kept making more mucous and losing that too. For two freaking weeks. Apparently when the universe doled out super powers, I got mucous production.
First time, I started dilating at 35 weeks. At 38 weeks, my water broke. I was at 4 when I got to the hospital. He was born 10 hours after my water broke.
Second time, I was a 39 weeks with no progress. I scheduled to be induced two days before my due date. At the hospital, I was fully effaced but no dilation. 4 hours of pitocin and she was born.

I didn't lose the fairy cork either time.
