My pregnant sister just lost her mucus plug, she is 37 weeks pregnant. Could this be a sign that the time could be near?

My sister is 37 weeks along. They say it can be anytime now between now and November 13. The mucus plug has now been lost. Im wondering if the time could be sooner than we think?

It is a sign but there seems to be no certainity on timing

37 weeks is definitely a time when a woman could give birth. so yes it could come sooner than 11/13.

It means things are moving in the right direction. However, labor may not start for days. Stand by until contractions start.

[smahala1991]

we were joking there's a full moon on the 29th and Halloween is Monday so it would probably wait to be born then

[COCOCHANEL]

yes maybe tomorrow !

[COCOCHANEL]

thank you
did it happen?

[TuMeManques]

Yes that's a typical sign. Congrats and good luck to her!

[fauchelevent]

Yeah, it usually is a sign that labour is imminent. Congrats to her :)

Is it bad that all I can think right now is pregnancy is gross

It's good because it means you'll probably not breed either.
