I started loosing my plug this morning at 9am, im not contracting, and im not in any pain. I want to get things moving and sex is out of the question. Ive been out all day long walking, is there anything that anyone knows of or has tried after the plug is gone to make things go into active labor or even labor. Help me get this Turkey out thanks so much.

Forgot to mention how far i am sorry. Im 39 weeks. This is my 3rd baby, I have never made it to this stage before. With my son i was induced at 37 weeks and same with my daughter so this is all new, going through the loosing of the plug and working to go into labor. Does taking a bath really work? does the nipple stimulation thing work? I say no sex because my husband is at work right now, and we tried that option earlier and its just to uncomfortable. I figure being my 3rd child things should move quickly but im so anxious and im so dang big its just getting uncomfortable. thanks so much for all your help. If something worked for you please tell me ill try anything about now.....

Im 35wks pregnant and lost my mucus plug 3 wks ago. After a check up from my doctor and midwife i was told that the plug coming out doesnt guarantee any labour at all. Ive had two friends in the past who lost their plugs between 28 and 32 wks and they didnt go into labour until they were fullterm and everything turned out fine.
If your fullterm and want some advice on inducing labour naturally why dont you ask your ob/gyn or midwife? Im sure they would be more than happy to give you some other tips you havent already been told.

I only have two suggestions but you have already said both. I did tons of walking....I even went to the mall and hung out there till I couldn't take it anymore. I also had lots of sex. I have no other tips for you but I wish I did. Whatever you do DON'T try c.oil. It makes you sick and doesn't work. Good luck to you. Hopefully it won't be too much longer. I lost my plug the night before I went into labor...hopefully it will be that way for you.

Walk walk walk. Honestly you might have a ways to go so if I were you I'd just relax.... trust me I know easier said than done, but the more you think about it the longer it will take. Take lots of baths and relaxing your body will make you eface quicker therefore you will have a better chance of a quicker labor. Good luck and congrats!!

Not much you can do except the walking. Once you start feeling menstrual cramps or your water breaks then you will know it is about time to get that Turkey out.
