I just lost my mucus plug

And I was having what I think is light contractions every two hours before that. They feel like early period cramps. I just don’t know what to expect next lol. My due date is in 3 days. How soon after you lost your plug did you go into early labor?

I lost mine 4 days before my waters broke but I didn’t get contractions until we got to the hospital! I think everyone seems to have things happen in a different order! I did have really bad lower backache and period like cramps for the whole week before I gave birth as well 😊

@Nevyana Yes! Literally everyone has a different story which makes me anxious lol.

@Ari Larae Yeaj it’s annoying that there isn’t one set timeline that things happen in. I remember when I lost my mucus plug I thought that’s it I’m giving birth today and every day after that I was so anxious because nothing else seemed to be moving along. I think it’s safe to say if your mucus plug has gone and you’ve got the period like cramps things are about to happen soon! I know it’s easier said than done but just try to relax and get lots of rest so you’re ready to meet your little baby!

@Nevyana Thanks so much! I will try to rest 🫶🏽

Varies soo much!! I lost it 2 weeks before I gave birth 🥹 just have everything ready, i definitely knew I was in labour when the contractions came and it felt like bad period pains and I had to stop what I was doing to deal with them for like 30 seconds! Good luck girlie !!🥰🥰

I lost mine at 10 pm , had my baby 10 am the next day

I lost my mucous plug at 7am when I got up for the day, and then my labor progressed from there. I labored at home all day. At like 10:30pm my water broke and I went to the hospital. Then a few hours later, at 1am my daughter came into the world. I didn’t nap when I could have, so definitely glad to hear you are resting! I had a low risk pregnancy. My doctor said to come in either after 2 hours the contractions are too hard to speak through or my water breaks. It ended up being both that happened.. 2 hours of heavy contractions and then water breaking. She said I could come in sooner if I really felt I needed to or if there was no baby movement. I did feel her moving around so I knew she was doing okay. Definitely stay in contact with your doctor if you have any concerns. Good luck! Praying for you! Hope things go well 🙏🏻

I lost my mucus plug like 1-2 weeks before, little by little. With my 1st pregnancy, about 3 days before.

Thank you everyone for sharing! Update: I have been having contractions pretty regularly for 4 hours. They are 8 minutes apart. I’ve also lost another part of my mucus plug. Pretty sure baby girl is coming today or tomorrow!

I was induced so lost mine 12 hours before giving birth

Mine came out in bits over a week, proper contractions started when my waters broke

you could be in early labor! i started early contractions (felt period like) only a few hours after losing the mucus plug. my daughter was born 24 hours later! just rest and relax, you’re so close!!

Was only about 2/3 days after I went into labour! Good luck 🫶🏻

Also if they are getting closer together time them. You can always ring the mw team. For advice. I rang them when I was in early labour and they told me to time my contractions. If they get bad have a cool bath if you’re able to it helps your hips. Keep us updated 🥰
