I am almost 35 weeks and we are supposed to go out of town this weekend. 4 hours away to my mom's house. I am currently dialated 1 cm and lost some mucus Thursday. I still feel like it is too early, but i'm unsure. This is my first pregnancy.

My mom delivered my brother at 34 weeks (6pds 8 oz.) and me at 36 weeks (6 pds. 1 oz.) So maybe we are just grow babies fast!

Just wondering when everyone else lost mucus?

With DD I lost my plug at 30 weeks, was induced at almost 39 weeks. With this one I started losing my plug a couple weeks ago, and I'm now 5 days overdue.

With #1 I started losing it 3 weeks before I went into labour. #2 I had a massive hindwater leak then lost mucus over 8 days before I went into labour. It's an individual thing.

One cm is no biggie. I would go and enjoy your trip. If you were 39 weeks and 4+ cm dilated with soft squishy cervix, that would be another thing. Have a great trip.

I lost my mucus plug with all three of my kids during active labor.

This time (second baby), my sister lost hers almost a month before she was induced! She was 1 to 2 cm dilated that whole time, too.

4 days with #1 1cm dilated

2 weeks with #2 4cm dilated and I didnt go into labor on my own.

With ds, I lost it the day before. With dd, it must have been so gradual all along that I never did realize I had lost it.

With my last I was losing mucus (often bloody-tinged) for three weeks. No kidding. Accompanied by cramping and bearing-down urges no less! With my third (the only other time I noticed the mucus plug) it came out all in one piece right before the baby.

I lost mine only hours before DS was born - but I was DEFINITELY in labor when it happened.

I never experienced even a hint of a mucus plug, during my entire pregnancy and birth. Maybe I didn't notice.

 

[truejoy]

I was already in labor.

moved to Birth & Beyond

 

[sargasso]

I started to lose mine during early labor.

during labor- in the birthing pool.

With my first, I lost it just over a month before labor started. With my second I lost it the day before he was born. This time I'm almost 31 weeks and I've started to lose it.

I'm almost 36 weeks, started losing it last friday... Now dilated to 4 and totally effaced....

Still no baby.

I started to lose little bits of mucous with my 2nd and 3rd around 37-38 weeks.

The actual plug - a big gob of blood-tinged mucous - I lost with my first and second about 12 hours before active labor started. I never noticed loosing it with my 3rd, though I did notice mucous dripping out at one point during active labor. It wasn't a defined "plug."

I also started labor with each child already 100% effaced and 2-3cm dilated and that started at 36 weeks with each one.

From what I understand it is normal to loose some mucous and the cervix just reseals itself.

I lost mine with dd around 33 weeks, by the time I went into labor at 38 weeks, I was already 3+ cm dilated. This time I lost it at 25 weeks, I'm 29 weeks now and no sign of labor anytime soon.
