im pretty sure ive been losing my plug slowly ever since about a month 1/2 ago... it started off where it was once a day or so when i would notice the gelly-like stringy thick but completely clear discharge when i would wipe. there was a decent amount and took me a few rewipes to get it all. now, im noticing it more... almost Every time i wipe, everyday, and theres more at a time and is really gelly like..but still clear in color. this is my 2nd pregnancy, and i never noticed this with my first child...but that labor never came on its own.. i was induced after due date because i wasnt showing any progression..i lost my plug during the inducement. so i dont know what to look for this time around, but... from what i read and am told by other women.. its my plug coming out in pieces? im 31 weeks. im not too concerned about it, im sure itll be a WHILE before i actually go into labor! lol

TMI!!!!!! I am 33 weeks ( hubby & i did do the BD the day before) & today i'd say about 1/3 to 1/4 cup of a gooey light green stuff came out but in the weirdest way, i pulled it out like a was pulling a rope and 4 to 5 pulls later it came out and felt like i was pulling out a tampon, i've had small itty bitty globs on my tissue before but this was a massive amount, then i wipe again and the tissue was pink, like 4 hours later i went washroom and it happened again but the stringy stuff was in the toilet water while still connected to me & slowly comin out so i wiped it up examined it , it was defintly not a good experiance and i am defintly on my gaurd now......just wondering if this is a cause for concern

What they dont tell you on here is that you can actually accumilate more of the plug if you lose it early. I did and when I asked my doc about it he explained that it resupplies itself most times if it startst too early. It also does not tell you what it is for on here. This plug stops bacteria, sperm, and other foreign objects from entering the uterus. Pretty cool.... It took over four weeks for me to loes mine and when I actually went into labor I had just as much as I had already lost. It is some nasty stuff to look at.... LOL... trust me, the photo is only a small portion of what is in there.

thanks lin.

its your plug...but don't worry. Mine came out in pieces starting at 20 weeks. It can come out all at once, or in stages. If its tinged with red, thats when you need to be concerned about early labor.

i am almost 31 weeks and today i wiped and noticed an eggwhite snotty thick substance. a little later more came out. could this be my plug or should i not be concerned? i never had this with my other pregnancies.

I am 10 weeks pregnant and I was wondering if anyone ever noticed gelatinus snotty discharge this early. It's not a lot of discharge but there is a litte string or 'booger' size discharge every time I go to the bathroom. Should I be concerned?? I was spotting a couple of weeks ago but according to ultrasounds baby is doing good.

im pretty sure my mucus plug came out. or is slowly...i used the bathroom and there was a lot of eggwhite like dischrage but only thicker. thnen even more came out an hour later..then nothing sence. it was clear and yellowish. with my 1st pregnancy it was a bit harder and more jello like. im 35 weeks.

ms.tosh... ha ha ha!... so true. I can't believe they have that picture on here! I laughed and laughed. But it is just one of the very many 'glamorous' parts of being pregnant. Don't worry mybabyismyheart, it's true that your mucus plug might not be like that... I lost mine over 2 days and it was just like a clear mucus discharge. The good thing is that despite all the nasty stuff... what you get at the end is well worth it. Good luck! :0-)

MYBABYISMYHEART~I HAVE LOST MY MUCUS PLUG BEFORE IT DOESNT ALWAYS HAVE TO LOOK LIKE THAT . MINE WAS THICK AND LIGHT YELLOW .SO DONT WORRY , PLUS TRUST ME YOUR MUCUS PLUG IS NOT THE NASTIEST THING YOU WILL SEE , TOUCH, SMELL, OR TASTE ON YOUR PREGNANCY JOURNEY.

This is absolutely bananas I never even knew a freakin mucus plug existed until I got pregnant...this baby is just going to do some freaky things to my body huh? I swear my Maman was right saying she went through hell to have us. While most things about my pregnancy is certainly cutesy and marvelous...that image they have on this site is just nasty...I do not want that slipping out of me ick.

Hi you guys! to answer dottie26 question, i have never known a piece of mucas plug to be oily. im pregnant with my second child now and mine have never been oily. just snotty and mucous (if that's a word) lol. but anyway i have a lil question of my own. im 29 wks 4 days and i lost my mucas plug last night. i think this is way too early. because with my last son i lost it at 38 wks and had him a week later. so i dont know what to think...what do you guys think?

ok i am kinda confused. this past friday nite i went to the bathroom and after i wped myself i noticed blood on the tissue not much of course, then i had to go again like 10 minutes later and i saw fluid on the back of my shorts. i knew it wasnt urine because i didn't have to pee that bad and it didnt smell like urine. i saw on the floor by the toilet clear fluid and i rubbed my finger through it a little bit and it felt oily. i have no clue if it was the mucus plug or not but i am just assuming so. do anyone have any idea what that could've been? thanx 4 the info...

Beuatiful Bre-With my son, I lost it in pieces for about 2 weeks before my water broke and I went into labor! HOw exciting....could see your little one in just a couple weeks! :)

hey everyone. i will be 36 weeks on thursday and last night i just lost my mucus plug. was kind of shocked to see it this early! how long has it taken most of you ladies to go into labor after losing yours? with my first kid i lost it once i hit the hospital when i was already dilated to like a six! so just curious.

Snot in a petri dish :)

i have a question & not sure where to post it. . . . once real contractions start, do you generally tend to dialate first, or does your water tend to break first ? with my last child, i had VERY strong contractions until my water broke, but not sure if i was dialted then or not since i was at home & not the hospital. please message me with any answers (or suggestions on where to place my question) on my page & not here. thank you !

DJ's girl: The internal sonogram does not go into the cervix, just the vagina. It can get past the tissue and mucus plug with the waves just like how an external sonogram goes through our skin and muscles. I think I may have lost a little tiny piece of my plug today. I wiped after peeing and it looked like a stringy piece of clearish snot with a little bit of brown in it. I will be 36 weeks in a few days. I hope that means he will be coming soon, I'm sooooo done being pregnant!!
