How long after losing your plug was bub born?

[Trillian]

With baby 1, I lost it just over 24hrs before he was born and didn't lose my plug with the next two till labour was well established and then with baby 4 I lost it over a few days at 37/38 weeks and I went 40+4 so it is really hard to guess, but usually within a week of losing it is average.

I lost my plug on Friday morning, Saturday night my water broke, and Sunday afternoon my son was born. Hope it goes quicker for you!

With DD2 I had her about 2 weeks after losing my plug. Can't remember with DD1. Hopefully that's not the case for you though.

I lost my plug on a Tuesday and had contractions. By the early hours of the Thursday I was in full-blown labour

Ok so i have lost part of my plug but im sure there is still more to come .... im wondering if it is ok/safe to have sex after your plug has started to come away?

I'm pretty sure you're ok to have sex once you've lost your plug, because bubs is still protected in the sac, but no sex after your waters break I would think??
