Within 24 hours of losing mine my children where here, but everyone is different.

I went into preterm labor 5 weeks ago & had to be hospitalized to get it to stop. Now I've been having back contractions for a week, baby girl dropped over a week ago & has been punching me in the pelvis, I'm effacing & dilating, my mucus plug started dislodging a couple days ago, & the bloody show happened an hour ago. I'm a little nervous. Hubby is at sea for 2 more weeks & I'm home alone with 3 dogs & live 45 minutes from the hospital.

Everybody's different. I was in labor when mine happened 😩
