Lost my mucus plug yesterday.?

Question

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and lost my mucus plug yesterday morning and today Im feeling tired and light headed. Its my first pregnancy and Im wondering if its almost time for the labor to start and if not what can I do to get it to start. Should I be looking for any signs to call the dr. like the light headedness is that normal?

Answer 1

yes it is almost time

Answer 2

I never felt light headed, you might want to let your dr know about that.  But you can lose you plug, minutes, hours, days or weeks before you actually go into labor.  Both times I went into labor on my own, I lost mine a few hours before I went into labor.

Answer 3

You are very close...of course we all heard of the famous things to do to get labor started...walk, have s*x, eat spicey foods, walk. But dont do it if you are light headed at the time of course, if you have a dr's appt before anything else happens yes, deff tell them about the light headedness. Just dont do any lifting, or long chores anymore...they can wait. Do everything slower now.

Congrats, you will be a mommy real soon!
