what does it mean if your starting to lose your mucus plug?

At how far you are it means labor chould be just around the corner but with me i lost my plug and i was over due i was still induced but i hope you have your baby soon

@mommysweigart if it really is my mucus plug how long would it take for labor to happen after losing it

Depends some go days after they lose it i lost mine like a month before i was induced so it is all on your body the really show that its time at least for most is the water breaking but some have to go in and get it broke by a doctor have to diluted at all

@mommysweigart last time I got checked before 40 weeks I wasn't but I'll be 41 weeks Tuesday

Well if you were already diluted id say you could go any day but since you dont know its hard to say next time you go in they will check for sure if you dont already have an induction set up but if you do and you dont go by that time i know it can be scary but just try to be calm i know i was terrified but have your support person and just glo with what feel right at the time theres no shame in an epidural i had one even though i wanted a completely unmedicated it what got me through my labor what ever gets you through it do it
