So.. my girlfriend's mucus plug came out..?

This afternoon, she found it in her underwear. For the last several weeks, she hasn't been interested much in being intimate, physically. This morning she was, but I apparently slept through it (..yea..right....).lol

But my real question is, should we NOT be physically intimate right now, til after the baby, now that this has happened?

Update:

Oh, the baby is due on December 25, like four weeks away.

    Up until her water breaks, it is ok to engage in relations. Once it has broken then nothing should be inserted. At that time showers are recommended as opposed to baths, all of those things increase the risk of uterine infection.

    just remember that semen can help sontractions along, but only if she is really ready to go! if she has the baby in the next two weeks, the baby will be considered full term anyway. Congrats!

  • You should be fine. I had sex after losing my mucus plug. Watch for early labor though. Usually after losing a mucus plug you go into labor within a couple weeks of losing it.

    I am having my baby on Dec. 29th. so congrats.
