I don't think she has gone into labour yet. She commented on a post yesterday. So I'm assuming she hasn't.

I'm 35weeks + 6 and I think I'm losing my mucus plug too. I'm worried as well if that's a sign of me going into labour. Have you gone into labour yet please? Do I need to see my midwife? Any suggestions please?

Regular contractions getting stronger about 1-5 mins apart and waters breaking are the definite signs baby is on the way. Apparently you can loose the mucus plug and it can grow back so it's not a good indicator. Hope you don't have too much longer to wait to meet your little one x

Losing the plug is not a immediate sign of labour but a soft sign meaning so u will go into labour but u can still go weeks before u do. Since u r 39 I would say it would be shorter time frame but it can still take u a few weeks
