A member asked:
If your 2 cm dilated and you lose your mucus plug does that mean that labour is starting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Need cervical change: The mucus plug is not a sign of labor. It can be lost right before delivery or several weeks before delivery. The mucus plug is inside the cervical opening to prevent bacteria or debris from ascending the cervical canal. Signs of labor are when you have cervical change ( example going from 2 cm to 4 cm), along with regular contractions ( example- Contractions every 5 min apart lasting a min)
