With both my kids, I lost my mucus plug, and went into labor the next day! I would be nervous to have sex without that plug in place! Why don't you try a nice (slow) long walk, and maybe some serious nipple stimulation! Worked for me!

No sex, tell your man to lay off. No bath either. Once the plug is gone if anything got up there it could cause infection. I can't believe you haven't delivered yet. You poor thing. It should be happening any moment now. Good Luck and congrats.

Sex or raspberry tea might help. Walking might too. Good luck hunny!

I lost the bath plug recently. Turned out the dog had swallowed it.

you are in an inactive labor, and with 50% effacement you can already deliver within 48hours. and it's a no to sex yet. just take it easy, usually for 1st time pregnant, patients have long labor.

Congratulations. Time's drawing nearer.

Do NOT have sex without the mucus plug in place. Why risk infection to your unborn child?

Start walking, drink a lot of water, keep your energy up. Nipple stimulation may help, but some think it's an old wive's tale. Be sure to check in with your doctor and let them know you've lost your plug.

Pretty soon you'll be holding your baby in your arms!

When the mucous plug goes it means that labour is imminent and should be happening in the next few days.
Good luck.

Don't have sex if your mucus plug is gone!!!! Walk a lot!! That puts you in labor quick.

Sex is fine until your membranes rupture. Walking is good, as is doing squats. But honestly, nothing is really proven to be effective, the bottom line is that labor will start when it's ready and not a moment before.

Good luck!
