Helloooo ladies.
So I'm almost 36 weeks. On Monday in fact! Well today I wiped and there was a small amount of blood on it and a tiny dot of mucus. I assume this os my mucus plug coming away but I'm not due my C section until the 9th of April so over 3 weeks.
What's most likely to happen now that I'm losing my mucus plug so early?
Will early labour be coming soon?
Tell me your experience
Thank you 😊 xx

I lost my muscus plug with my son when I was 37 weeks lost it that morning and my waters broke that night and had him early hours in the morning

Took about 3-4 days after I lost it to go into labor ! My daughter ended up being a month early and we went home after 2 days 🤗

This could be what’s called a “bloody show” which happens when labor is near, if I were you I’d just get my bags packed and be ready for anything, and go in if you start having consistent contractions
On the other hand it’s totally possible that you’re just spotting and your mucus plug regenerates, and you go another 3 weeks but I would be prepared just incase it’s the first
I had 1 baby at 36 weeks and 1 at 39 so I’ve been through both scenarios

This is your bloody show

@Jen yiu went home after 2 days that's amazing! What did they weigh?

5.01 pounds!

The baby coming soon

Mines took 2days to fully come out but after my water broke

Just because you have lose a small amount does not mean you will go into labor. I lost mine with both my pregnancies and it regrow both times no labor until weeks later. Your plug can regrow or regenerate so it may not be anything for you to worry about.

Looks like you are losing your mucus plug it can come in pieces. Your looks like a piece. I lost mine with my first daughter and went into labor 4 days later

Yes the plug can regrow
But a bloody show is different to that and this looks like a bloody show

I went home after 3 days with my first. But the same day with my second
