Hi mama,
While losing your mucous plug is one of the first sure signs of impending labour, early labour May take up to days or weeks.
I would like to ask what would be a positive birth for you?
The reason behind my question is that if you are seeking an intervention free natural vaginal birth, going into the hospital too early May get you impatient and hence you may ask for labour to be sped up.
If you have had a healthy pregnancy this far and baby is still moving and active, nothing to worry about. Just hang on, trust your body and I’m sure labour will begin on its own soon enough.
