A member asked:
Is there anything i can do to get my mucous plug to come out or speed up the process? 40 weeks, been walking alot, having pretty regular contractions

Not really: There are things available within the hospital if they are needed, but require careful monitoring. The mucus plug will come out when the cervix starts to open up, so it is only a sign of the process. It sounds like you are getting very close, so try to be patient!
