How long after you lost your mucus plug did you go into labour?

I’m 39w today and lost my mucus plug last night. I know there’s no hard and fast rule for how long it takes to go into labour afterwards but just curious to see how long it took for you ladies? 😁

Heyy! I was due 24 July and had my baby boy on the 14th. I lost my mucus plug on Thursday morning, had light contractions early Friday morning and then they stopped. Then I lost the rest of my mucus plug Saturday morning but due to having quite a lot of blood, I went to the hospital to get checked but instead they told me I was already 3cm dilated and fully effaced!! That evening I went into active labour and he was born early Sunday morning 🩵 soo around 72 hours all together from loosing my mucus plug to holding him in my arms when he was born xx

Day out after c section

Hey,
I had an emergency c section 1 week ago I obviously don't want a day out right now but I have things booked for the Easter holidays so in 2 weeks. I was just wondering if I will be overdoing it if I have a day out then or will I be ok? I would still take it as easy as I could. When did everyone feel good enough to go out?

Reduced Movements

Has anyone else gone in for monitoring for reduced movements and as soon as you arrive at triage the baby starts moving and the CTG is normal? It makes me feel like I am over reacting.

Newborn stage

Is anyone tired of doing the same thing everyday and being on a 2-3 hour schedule? It’s the same everyday and I feel like I’m losing my mind. It’s making me depressed even if I get out once a day. When does it get better? I feel like I’m just waiting for the next stage where it’s not just sitting around all day.
