starting to get sad

I'm 38+2 & due October 13th. I'm starting to get upset that I haven't lost my mucus plug yet. With my first daughter I was 2 weeks overdue. I lost  my plug 2 days before labor. I don't want this to happen this time. Who haven't lost there plug yet either?

38 + 4 with baby number 5. I'm not even looking for a mucus plug. Mucus plugs can mean anything. I didn't see mine at all with any of my pregnancies. Ever. I'm just waiting around for the regular contractions to start. Best of luck to all you ladies! =)

I'm 37+6 and haven't lost mine yet.  And with my first I lost it a month 1.5 before my due date and he was 5 days late.
Now with this pregnancy I have a scheduled C-Section a week before my orignal due date.  (October 17th) my doctor hasn't said anything being wrong with not losing it so I'm not worried.

I have a scheduled csection on the 16th. That is my 39 week mark. For all the other moms look at the bright side...full moon is in little over a week. This is when alot of mom's go in...something about the moon. My doctor said during full moon week she sees a few girls coming in with contractions or their water breaks. Lol so you never know! =)

Thanks. But I'm so big, it makes it hard to breathe, sleep, walk & even sit comfortably. I just don't want to go pass my due date.

I'm due tomorrow & no labour signs at all. I'm trying to focus on other things like cooking meals for the freezer & keeping the house clean. Packed & unpacked my hospital bag about 8 times. I don't want to be induced or have a sweep or anything, I trust my bub to come when they are ready.  Hang in  there October Mums we've come this far :-)

We have the same due date October 13th and I havent lost my plug either. Sad news is im not getting induced if labor doesnt start on its own by 40 weeks my Dr wants to do a c section instead of the vbac. Im really hoping to get contractions anyday now. Good luck to you.

I'm 38 today and haven't lost my mucus plug either. I'm dilated to 1 cm and am contracting every 6-7 minutes but am only considered to be in labor bout active labor until I start to dilate. I'm dilated 1cm as of last week with the help of my ob. For those ladies out there who are contacting with no dilation you can always ask your ob to stip your membrane. It is very uncomfortable but I'd safe for you and your baby

I'm 36 weeks and I've been losing parts of my plug. I'm getting sad because I still have four long weeks to go.

You dont have to lose your plug before labor. And you can also dilate really quickly.  Good luck to you ladies!
