When you lose your mucus plug, do you go to the hospital?

Question

This is my first baby, and I was just wondering, what you were supposed to do when you lose your mucus plug...thanks:)

Answer 1

Nope=) Unless you see a lot of blood. You can mention the next time you see your Dr. but you can slowly lose it and it can even grow back! So your fine!!=)

Answer 2

NO NOT NECCESSARILY!!! UR MUCUS PLUG REALEASING ITSELF DOESNT MEAN UR IN ANY TYOE OF LABOR. ALTHOUH IF UR CONCERNED GO TO THE DR. TO RELIEVE ANY DOUBTS OR UNCERTAINTIES IN UR MIND.  IF U HAVE ANY PAINS OR U FEEL LIKE U HAVE TO POOPEY REALLY BAD WITH PRESSURE THEN CALL UR DR. OTHER THAN THAT U SHOULDNT WORRY BUT REMEMBER UR THE MOMMY IF UR CONCERNED OF ANYTHING CALL UR DR.

Answer 3

I didn't, I lost mine on feb 29th around 9 am and then I got ready for the day and went for a walk till my contractions got bad enough that I couldn't walk comfortably, then about 3 I went to the hospital where they made me walk some more (I was due the next day so they kept me) till I dilated to a 4 around 7pm they broke my water then my daughter was born at 5:05am the next morning. I'm one of those ppl that pregnant ladies hate because I had my baby on my due date.

Answer 4

No you don't go to hospital until contractions start or water breaks....you can lose your mucous plug days before labor begins but it is a sure sign labor is on the way. If you make it to the next doctor appointment you can let them know your plug is gone

Answer 5

relax and know that labor is soon how soon a week or hours with my first lost mucous plug went into labor 8 hours later...my second lost it weeks before labor came

Answer 6

no

Answer 7

No, you can lose your plug weeks before the baby is due.

Now if your water breaks, that's a different matter.  Once your water breaks, doctors usually want the baby born within 24 hours.
