If I am 39 weeks pregnant and lost the mucous plus, does that mean I'm close to delivery?

Answer by  BBrown (67)

While losing your mucus plug is a sure sign that you're nearing the end of your pregnancy, it could still be up to two weeks until you start active labor. Your mucus plug drops when the cervix begins to thin, so be patient and rest assured that your body is doing it's job to prepare for baby!

Well, at 39 weeks you are already extremely close to delivery so regardless of what's been happening with your mucous. The loss of the mucous means that you are even that much closer to having your baby so good luck with the delivery and I hope that everything works out alright for you and you have a healthy baby!
