how soon after i pass mucus plug will labor start?

Q. Passed my mucus plug this afternoon this I'm positive of. My due date was yesterday. This is second pregnancy. First baby was 4 days early. Been having alot of Braxton Hicks. Last Monday dr checked cervix and said nothings happened yet and come back in a week. I know no matter what delivery won't be much longer. Just wondering any estimate of how long before true labor begins after mucus plug passed.

A. Ive been loosing small pieces of my plug for weeks now(hasnt had blood in it). Well im 9 days late and STILL pregnant...


How long after you lost your mucus plug did you go into labor?
Q. I started losing my mucus plug a week ago today... I'm 36 weeks today. I've been losing a little bit each day. I was wondering how long after you lost your mucus plug that you went into labor? I am SO ready for this baby to be here! I know every pregnancy is different. Some women lose it a month before, and some lose it when labor starts... but just wondered when you did?

A. I started to lose my mucus plug at 32 weeks, had premature labor a few days later, but didn't actually have my son until I was 42 weeks. What I am saying is don't be to excited about going to the hospital soon, but do have your hospital bag backed because one you are already getting close to your due date and two your body is making the preparations for labor. Labor can happen any time but its always good to be ready to go.


Is it safe to use Monistat 3 once your mucus plug has fallen out?
Q. I'm right at the end of my pregnancy, about a week to go and I have a terrible yeast infection. I know monistat is fine to use when pregnant but is it still safe to use once the mucus plug has fallen out and there's no longer that barrier? The monistat I'm speaking of is the cream that is inserted into the vagina.

Please let me know, I'd like to start tonight if safe!

A. Honeslty you should call and ask your OB tomorrow or even call the hospital and ask a nurse tonight if you need to. I know it is safe during pregnancy but not so sure after you lose your mucus plug. There is no protection now without it..
Better safe then sorry, right?

Good luck :)


How do you know when you lose your mucus plug?
Q. I am 34.4 weeks pregnant and this is my first pregnancy and I was wondering, how do you know when you lose your mucus plug? What is it or what does it look like?

A. it was almost looked like spotting and some of it seemed like a clear discharge with pink. u will know when u lose it when u feel "wet" like as if u had a lot of discharge come out. the mucous plug is a small amount of fluid that seals the cervix (opening of ur uterus).
