Do you always lose your mucus plug before your water breaks?

[melham74]

dont remeber with the first 3 but with my last was the day before I went into labour.

I lost mine on a saturday and then was thrown into labour at 2am on the Wednesday morning when my waters came Niagara falling

I'm another one who doesn't remember losing it, my waters broke and i was in very active labour straight away (only had a 2 hour labour!) so i have no idea, i have been wondering about it though, guess i'll never know

With my DD i had a show, then my hindwaters break,
With DS1 nothing they broke my waters
With DS2 lost a bit of the show every now and then over 3 weeks they broke my waters
They have all been different, i wonder what this one will be like.. I keep dreaming that my waters are going to break in bed...

I didn't read all of the replys so don't know if someone had similar to me but i lost my plug the week before i went into labour. When i woke up with contractions they were constant and i eventually realised this was the real thing but my waters were broken at the hospital. It didn't just happen for me.
