How long after you lose your mucus plug until the baby comes? This is my third child and I just lost my plug never experianced losing it prior to this pregnancy? All advice appreciated. Thanks

  • It varies, really. Some women lose them in small amounts until it's time to go into labor. Some who lose them all at once, have weeks left before labor starts. I think the general rule is if you lose it before 35-36 weeks, you should notify your doctor, but after that, you just wait it out until labor comes or your dog examines you at a regular appointment and tells you how close you might be.

    Good luck, hun!
