this happens to many pregnant women rather its from having sex while your 39 weeks or if you had an internal exam but the only symptoms i know of would be cramping in your lower abdomen and back pains
Yes, I would think you could. Pregnancy lasts 38 weeks usually and usually you lose your mucus plug a few days before labor. It could be a sign of premature labor. I would call your DOCTOR if this is happening to you. Your DOCTOR may want to see you as premature births can be hazardous to the baby.
probably your mucus plug. ask your doctor
as soon as you lose your mucus plug you should go to the hospital cause the baby is on its way
Maybe you are losing your mucus plug
i am 39 weeks along and have been losing my mucus plug gradually for almost 2 weeks now.
It could be hours, days or weeks. In my case, I was 36 weeks 6 days, lost the mucous plug and had the baby 5 hours later. But, from what I've read, there is no firm correlation between how dilated you are or losing the plug and the length of time you have left.
First, you should call your doctor, right now. Second, any baby delivered after 36 weeks is considered full term, so losing your mucus plug at 37 weeks is normal.
The amount of weeks depends. You will lose it when you go into, or shortly before you go into labor. You will only be able to tell if you've lost it, when you see it. Other than that, you cant really tell.
I was told by my midwife that it's fine to have a bath after you have lost mucus plug, because baby is still protected by amniotic sac.
The mucus plug can be lost several days, or even a week before labor starts, so not necessarily.
Everyone woman is different when it comes to dilation. Some may not start to dilate until their water breaks and even then, some woman do not start then. I've been a new mother now for 3 weeks. It took me over a period of 3 days to completely lose my mucus plug and I started my dilation before I lost my mucus plug and even then it took me 2 more weeks to have my son. So just be patient, your wonderful bundle of joy will be here sooner than you think!! Congratulations!
I did not lose mine with the second or at least it was not a noticeable loss. I am now expecting my 3rd, 34 weeks tomorrow. I am wondering if I will lose it this time or not?
The mucus plug looks just like the mucus from your nose. It can be anywhere from white to yellowish is color and may or may not have traces of bright red blood or pinkish blood. Call your dr to inform them that you have lost your mucus plug as most women generally go into labor 24 hours to 7 days later.
