Loosing mucus plug at 24 weeks

[Simsimsi]

Hello ladies, has anyone experienced loosing mucus plug/ show early on in pregnancy? I was under impression that normally you loose it just before the pregnancy, so being 24weeks I am a little worried. I found an article saying that sometimes it comes out and then reforms, I hope that’s the case, wouldn’t want to not have that protection for the rest of the pregnancy.

Hi lovely. I would call your maternity assessment unit? Sometimes I think it can cause infection they might want to check you over x

Please speak to your local maty assessment unit. It may not be the plug but best to get seen.xx

Phone your midwife

Definitely phone triage. It's probably ok, but I lost mine at 34 weeks and gave birth the next day.

Hi ladies, so I had my midwife appointment today so decided to wait and let her know in person. She confirmed it is absolutely fine, the body will regenerate another one- no reason why it has come out though. If it was closer to the due date then yeah possibly body is preparing to go in labour, but not this early!

Glad it's all ok 🙂
