Losing plug and labour

[MindUtopia]

I never as far as I know lost my plug. I always had lots of white discharge in 3rd tri, but none of it was ever blood tinged or looked like anything more than just normal discharge (small bits all the time). I did have A LOT of EWCM like discharge for about 24 hours before I went into labour, but it was clear and stretchy, not like a plug either really. That was the only sign in retrospect that I was about to go into labour, even though I didn't recognize it at the time.

I lost plug and waters broke and then never went into labour. Had to be induced.

I lose clear jelly plugs for about 3-4 wks before labour, but lose a huge plug and have a 'show' in early labour. My first labour was a blur in the early stages but labour was 18.5hrs long. My second labour I had dull, distracting but non-painful contractions for about an hour or so beforehand. The plug was how I realised it was real rather than a false alarm. That labour lasted 11hrs from first twinge
