You can lose your mucus plug weeks before you go into labor, but what you should really be looking out for is your "bloody show" as my doctor called it. It looks similar to a mucus plug but should have pink tinge to it or a small amount of blood in it.

I'm 38 weeks and I have yet to lose my plug I guess she don't want to come out and she wants to be breech...

From my experience with my first I was loosing my mucus plug over a two week period but the day I lost the rest nor my plug with a brown and pink color I went into labor the same day one week early but I was also having contractions so it is possible for you to start labor today or in the next couple days congrats mommy and good luck

How can you tell you lost your mucus plug? Is it painful? Excessive? I thought i might have lost mine a week ago, it looked like my vagina sneezed on itself and i have an increase in discharge since, but i brushed it off...how did you ladies know what it was?

It doesnt mean you will go into labor,most women lose their mucus plug a few weeks before they are due
