Mucus plug

I know its not necessarily an indication of labour but has anyone lost the mucus plug close to their due date and then gone on to labour? I'm 39+5 today and woke up to what I think is my mucus plug after going to the loo! I'm really hoping its a sign of things as I'm so ready for this baby to be here now 🤞🏻

So I went into prem labour over a week ago, it started with abit more of a discharge than normal. It wasn’t like I had seen or read online but clear slimey stuff was on the tissue. A very small amount.

That night my waters went at 36 weeks, just a trickle and then kept going. I was admitted as contractions gentle started but stopped, got sent home and had her 3 days later.

Lost the mucus plug in dribs and drabs over 39 weeks… and a massive amount at like 39+4 and thought (surely it must be soon) I’m now 40+2 and I’ve had no broken waters, bloody show or contractions 🤷‍♀️

I lost my mucus plug about 2 weeks ago and nothing yet (im 36 weeks though so want her cooking in there a little longer!)

Lost my mucus plug around 38 weeks and a few more bits have come out earlier this week but here I am at 40w4d and still pregnant 😒 so it’s a sign that your body is preparing and labour is close, but not an indicator as to how close it is
