Did any of you go into labor before you lost your mucus plug or had bloody show? Do you always lose it before labor? I understand that if you lose your plug it doesn't really tell you when labor will come.
No. I've only ever even seen my plug once (I'm having my 5th) and was in the hospital in labor when I did. My doctor says mine is hanging by a thread - tmi, I know.
Never saw it with my first.... Just increased discharge until the end. The day I went into labor it had a little color... Brown, red but nothing crazy or obvious.
I didn't lose my mucus plug with my first pregnancy until a dilation check during labor! Never had bloody show either....Labor can definitely happen without either of these! ;-)
