I've had three bloody shows since losing mucus plug.  My mum thinks he gonna be here before I get induced on Thursday.  Would like to know what a spontaneous labour feels like as had to be induced with my first

I'm 40 weeks on Saturday and still no sign of my mucus plug.  I'm hoping I see it soon because I really want to meet her.

Mine started to come out 3 days ago and is coming out here and there.  I'm 38.5 weeks and haven't noticed any contractions etc.  It could be hours days or weeks after the plug comes out that actual labor begins. Good luck!

You can lose your plug more than once. It can regenerate.

Losing your mucus plug doesn't necessarily mean that labour is near, it's just means that you've started to dilate, but some women can be dilated for weeks and weeks before their baby is born.
