Mucus plug gone!

Hey guys, I’m currently 40 + 4, and I’m 100% sure my mucus plug has just gone, I had a sweep done yesterday at 2:30pm! I’ve read that this could still be days away, has anyone had there mucus plug go and then have contractions etc a few hours after? It’s my first baby so honestly have no idea what to expect! Thank you xxx

Hey girlie! Mucus plug isn’t a sign of labour annoyingly, they can regrow, and continue to come out over the course of a week or so. I lost my mucus plug at 38 weeks, and I was induced at 39+2 with little to no contractions and 1cm dilated ♥️

With my first I had a sweep on the 4th, lost my plug that night, contractions started 9pm on the 7th and she was born 19:40 on the 8th

I had my contractions start before my mucus plug, and before waters. Baby did arrive less than 12 hours after losing plug though so fingers crossed you meet your little one soon

Happy birthday to me

It's my birthday. 33 today. Hubby went to bed half an hour b4 midnight knowing I stay up to see the day in every year. So I saw it in with my littlest Mr. Then had to wash the baby bottles, sort the dog, lock everything up and bring the little one up to bed. Yaaay. Just another day much.

Big babies!

is anyone else worried about having a big baby? i had my first in 2024 and she was born 39 weeks weighing 8lb13oz and so far it looks like this baby is going to be even bigger! my bump alone is measuring above the 90th centile at just 26 weeks🫣
