Lost mine this morning. Im at work now...no contractions or anything. This is my second baby and i didn't lose my plug with my first. Does anyone know how dilated u have to b to lose ur plug or how soon after losing it u have contractions etc. Im sure its different for everyone but i don't really know much about it

Ik im probably the same body type as u. Womens bodies r amazing lol. I cant believe i pushed my first out and im confident i can do it again. It was so hard for me to gain weight..ive only gained 6 pounds this pregnancy and now im thinking its bc my little monster inside of me is gaining it all lol

I lost my plug it took a week before i was in labor but i think he was waiting for his daddy to come back from his business trip.

Ok lol. Well i don't think it will have time to rebuild since im due in 8 days...hopefully lol. But last drs appt i was 1 cm and 50% effaced. I also think shes doing a membrane sweep on tuesday so that will hopefully get things going too. She told me if i make it to my due date he will b a 9 pound baby lol. Wish me luck haha

With my first pregnancy I lost mine 3 days before my water broke, I was 1cm dilated when my water broke.. So there isn't a certain dilation your at. But it could be soon!!!!

I heard you can lose it hours, days, and weeks before you start labor. It can also rebuild itself.
