I would like to educate everyone who is/was misinformed about the correlation between your mucus plug and labor since there has been a lot of misinformation given. Loosing it doesn’t predict when you will go into labor. But you will loose it at some point before the baby arrives whether you realize it or not. It can either be lost in pieces or all at once. When you do loose it later in pregnancy it usually is a sign of dilation and that you are getting closer to labor. If you loose it before 36 weeks you should speak to your ob about it because it can be a sign of preterm labor.
