lmo - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i dont think that would be your mucus plug i would ask your doctor about it because that doesnt sound normal

kayla-love - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Your due date is in July so its too early really to lose your mucus plug. I would consult your doctor to be honest and get a professional opinion. Normally your plug will be like a blob of say snot and could have a streak of blood in there or a browinish colour. It may come away bit by bit and increase. This does not mean that labour will begin as it may take a week or so. It could even take a day or so it all depends on your pregnancy.

Mommyof2boys - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It sounds like you lost a piece of your plug, it doesnt all have to come out at once. You are def. on your way to having baby. Good luck!

jessicadarling - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I don't know about it being flaky. It should honestly look like a glob of snot. It can come apart in smaller pieces though, I am just not sure about it being flaky

mommauv4 - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) Could be a chunk of the plug. If you are worried you should see your doctor. Seems a bit early.

jodiie - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) sounds like it was your mucus plug but if it was floating in water it could look flakey because it might be coming apart in the water? if that makes sense to you

Baby3OnWay - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I have never heard of it being flaky, but i have known it to come out in pieces though... it can be a while after losing it that you have the baby but most people go into labor within hours afetr. Good luck

kbushby - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) mine came out in pieces also.. it took a couple days to fully come out.

mommy-of-3 - 75 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) It sounds like that is what you saw. The mucus plug is normally blood tinged like you explained.
