I would definitely try to hold the little one in at least until 37-38 weeks if possible. I've lost my mucous plug with previous pregnancies and still had a couple of weeks to go. My last pregnancy my water broke (first time on its own) and I didn't deliver until 10 days later! (Although that wasn't safe and I had to be induced). I've had 2 kids at the 36 week mark and they both had to deal with RSV. They are fine now but if possible it's something you would prefer to not have them or yourself go through. Let his/her little lungs and stuff finish developing. I'm sure you are doing an excellent job:-) Hang in there! [And I've heard eggplant and walking will self induce when you are in the clear;-)]

You're barely 36 weeks. Bub still has a lot of cooking to do. Women can go full term or over due once they lose their plug.
I wouldn't do anything I'd try keep the baby in there as long as possible.
