Haven't lost mucus plus yet?

[Cyn_x0]

So I'm getting close to my due date and I've been having on & off contractions now for a week but I haven't lost my mucus plug as yet. Well I don't think I have since I always check and don't notice anything on the TP.

Do you need to lose your mucus plug first in order to start labor or can you be in active labor as in 4cm dilated and being admitted into the hospital without losing it first?

Ahhh these last few days are the hardest cause you don't know when it will happen and it's a waiting game :[

I started losing my mucus plug ealry today.. Not much.. Just a little on the TP when I wipe. and pinkish so I hope something is happening!

I haven't lost mine that I know of either. Ditto on the water breaking part and the pelvic pain! I was comfortable up until this last week too. Now I can't really sleep past 3am because my hips hurt so bad. I lay there and try but it's pointless. Maybe I should get up for a 3 am walk and then go back to bed or move to the recliner! I too haven't been checked yet for any dialation or anything.

Well I was losing my mucus plug throughout since about 35 weeks. When I went into labor I didn't get any discharge (or mucus plug) until I got to the hospital. When I went to the  restroom I just felt a gush of something and it was slimmy and gross. Then that's when they checked and my bag had already ruptured.

Well good luck to you my doctor stood me up my last 2 appointments so I feel pretty much on my own

I'm going to see if my midwife with do a membrane sweep tomorrow at my appointment. I haven't had any cervical checks or anything so far and I kind of want to know what's up now. I was all for being pleasantly surprised, but it's not pleasant anymore.


MAYBE my water will break or something will happen before my appointment tomorrow....

.... wishful thinking, I know.

I don't recall ever losing mines with my first daughter and i was induced with her at 41 weeks...I've had a baby before and my body still seems to not know how to go into labor this is freaking frustrating!!

Its funny because I keep thinking the same...every time I get up I swear my water is going to finally break.

A little black spider came down in front of me & that usually means someone is coming to visit unexpectedly. So I was thinking maybe Peri would come a day
before my c section. Wishfully thinking!
I remember losing my mucas plug with my first pregnancy but so far nothing yet.

Ugh, I'm right there with you! Every time I go to the bathroom, I check the TP. Every time I sit up or move or use the potty, I wait for my water to suddenly break. GAH. I have this waiting game- it's AWFUL! I'm so ready to meet my little guy and get back to a normal size so I can fit something other than sweats.... and did I say I am ready to meet my little guy!??!!?

Ugh and the back pain... and my digestions all messed up... I was so comfortable until this last week and I swear everything went AWFUL...

And my pubic bone.... oh my goodness. Ouch what the heck happened there?!

I feel like I'm going to be the last one to meet my baby for some reason. BOOOO
