    I always get lots of BH contractions. With my two singletons the BH started to get more frequent around week 34-35. I started losing the plug after week 38 both times. I never was dilated though and I went into labor both times at 40 weeks 4 days.

    This time the BH started to get more frequent (and a lot stronger than with my singletons) around week 31-32. At 33,5 weeks there's still no sign of the plug.

    How about you?

    When did you start losing the plug in previous pregnancies (singleton or twin)?
    How much time between starting to lose the plug until going into labor?
    Did you have a lot of BH? For how long had you had considerable BH when the plug started going?

    With my singleton, I lost the plug at exactly 40 weeks, and then I went into labor several hours later (my water broke around that same time). At my OB appointment the previous day, I was 1 cm dilated. It was the first appointment that had shown any change in my cervix. If I had any Braxton Hicks during that pregnancy, I did not notice them.

    With these twins, I have not lost the plug yet (38 weeks + 2 days). I have had relatively frequent Braxton Hicks for months. My cervix has been dilated to at least 4 cm for the past three weeks. I am shocked labor has not begun yet, but so far, no mucus plug or water breaking or active labor.

    I never lost my mucus plug with my singleton, delivered at 39 weeks.

    I lost my mucus plug at 31 weeks with the twins-was having contractions, went to the hospital and was dilating (that day) was given the steroid shot, put on medication to stop labor and finally sent home on full bedrest for 4 weeks when I finally delivered.
