Hi all

Got a question, when is it normal for your mucas plug to go, is it before or after your waters break?!? not happened yet and still got a while to go, just wondered what to except really !!

Hiya Natalie

I think it just depends on the individual.....I suspect this is different from woman to woman and indeed from pregnancy to pregnancy.

In my experience I lost my plug at 2:20am, my waters broke at 5am and I had my baby boy at 9:29am. Some women may lose this plug up to two weeks before actually going into labour.

Love
 
Thanks for the reply Rachel, always useful to have a bit of an idea!!!

Hi Newbump.

It can occur from 2wks before to not at all. With my children I only lost it 1 out of the 4 times. Unless I had lost it once in labor and at the hospital which by then I wasn't noticing much of anything!!!!! :wink:

The mucus plug, also known as the "show" is a bunch of goo that you.... can...er...find in your pants (!)
It blocks the uterus' opening until you're ready have the baby, and can come out as a sign of labour. I don't know how else to describe it without google LOL.

I never saw mine when I had my son though.

EDIT: here's a good link ( I had to google in the end!)
