Just to note: it can reform. So don't panic if you start losing it too early. Preterm labor isn't guaranteed. Especially if the reason for losing it is sex. It can also just start falling out a month before you go into labor, so don't get too excited at 38 weeks if it starts happening. You might still have weeks to go.
Though if you have too many weeks past 40 you should probably get induced if you can, postterm pregnancies aren't great for those involved.
