My sister in law just had a baby in feb and she stated that her plug fell out like 4 weeks before she went into labor. However she stated that it was brown and bloody. I haven't gone into labor with my babies yet so I cant' answer from experiance.

Hope that helps , and just know that your baby's survival rate is good at 31 weeks, that is what the doctor told me when I was sick with my first baby.

It's ok if your plug came out already. Chances are high that your body will form another one. Losing your mucous plug is .N.O.T a guaranteed sign of impending labor. Rather, keep an eye out for consistent contractions that get worse and that you can't function through. Keep yourself hydrated with a gallon of water per every 24 hours. I honestly wouldn't worry about it.

i lost my mucus plug very early with all my kids. With one it was over 2 months early. I have heard if you loose it too soon you might make another one. I did not notice blood with mine either. Just really thick snot like substance.

I know she was a bit concernd with me going early again cause with my son I delevered him at 38 weeks and he was 8lb and 9 oz we arepretty sure that this one is also a bit big.I have been feeling alot of pressure and some mild constant pain. I will keep in touch and let you all know what happens.
