answer:My daughter was a week early and my water broke and then my labor was induced after 12 hours as nothing was happening. So no, but…your baby will be here soon, just be patient. You can try walking some, but really, mother nature plays out differently for every woman. First babies usually have longer labors and sometimes you can be dilated a few centimeters for days before real labor actually begins. You may not even notice the mucus plug, not everyone does.Relax, get your last minute final touches on things, the babies room, bag packed for the hospital, do your nails, wash your hair, keep your mind occupied and before you know it, it will be time! Good luck, this is EXCITING, be excited not stressed. It’s outta your hands mama. :-)
