How long

I lost part of my mucus plug about 2am on Christmas morning. There was also a bit of blood in it. Now I have been going to the bathroom probably 3 times a day. So I'm guessing that's my body "cleaning" itself out? The doctor told me I can go into labor as early as the 5th of this month and they won't stop my labor. On the 5th I will be 35 weeks. How long does your body usually "clean" itself before labor starts?

I've been loosing my plug for a couple of weeks now, and some days it'll be alot more than others. On those days I'll be in the bathroom many times during the day, and I'll have contractions. The next day, absolutely nothing. Its getting ridiculous. I think its different for everybody.

There's no particular time frame for anyone, things just happen unexpectedly and that's one of the bad perks of pregnancy, you never know when things will happen and what your body is going to do
