How long after you started losing your MP did labor start?

crizz13 · November 2014

Knowing that losing your mucus plug could mean labor is hours or weeks away, I'm curious as to the experience of our ladies!

So: How long after you first started losing your plug did labor begin?

ETA: To be clear: NO PICTURES, PLEASE! ;-)

If I lost mine I haven't noticed.

I with out a doubt lost my plug/ had bloody show on Thursday. I am still waiting for labor to start.

I definitely started having mine happen Saturday night and nothing else is happening yet.

I may have slowly lost my MP but my bloody show definitely was during labor

SS I lost mine 4 days before I was induced so natural labour never started for me.

I lost my plug and had bloody show for the first time at 33 weeks, then again at the beginning of 37 weeks which was a week ago and still no baby.

Another SS, lost mine Friday 3 days past my due date, still no signs of labor starting and now 5 days past my due date.

Mine came out when my water broke, so there was no question that labor was imminent. I had him 14 hours later.

I lost mine soon after my contractions started. It was one way I knew I was really in labor, apart from the fact that the contractions were completely different from Braxton hicks.

I lost a big chunk of it last week and another chunk the week before. No labor yet.

I lost mine at 36 weeks and went into labor at 38. So, over a week.

Lost on Halloween, water broke on Nov. 3.

I started losing it in pieces at 35 weeks with #1 and 36 weeks with #2. I don't remember with #3. With #4, around 36-37 weeks. No spontaneous labor.

This time I've started losing it in pieces at 35 weeks.

I didn't see mine with DD at all. This time, I lost mine at 37 weeks and here I sit at 39 weeks still pregnant!

This may be stupid and/or vomit inducing, but for those who lost it in "pieces", was it still mucusy?

Fairly certain I lost mine last week, but with DD it was accompanied by bloody show and she was born within a couple of days

Yep. Very mucousy. And I lost mine over the course of a week and a half. I have yet to see bloody show, though.
