Lost mucous plug?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
I'm pretty sure I lost at least part of my mucous plug a couple of hours ago, although there was no blood in it. I've been having ever-increasing EWCM over the past week, and today it's been obviously more gelatinous and copious, then a couple of hours ago I noticed a large, very jelly-like glob. With DD, I had already been contracting regularly for about 4 hours before I had my "show", and I knew that's what it was because of the blood present.

So far, though, I'm not having any more ctx than normal, which have been very spaced apart, and not more than mild in regards to pain. (Granted, I'm used to quite strong and painful menstrual cramps, so...)

Does this sound like I did lose my plug? I know all pregnancies are different, but I have stopped trying to guess what's been going on the past 2 weeks with this one. :

I'm really, really ready to go into labor.

It sounds like part of the plug, that's for sure. I wish it meant more than it does though. I lost about a handful of this stuff streaked with red blood several days ago and still haven't gone into labor. Just having very irregular contractions and cramping....

Here's hoping things pick up for us soon.

Sounds like it. My plug was pure white like a cotton ball and it was so gross I will never forget that feeling and the way it looked. Silly me got a mirror and looked down there when I felt lots of gunk. Mine didnt come all the way out it was stuck on my cervix and when I wiped I could feel it tugging :

Yes, sounds like the plug which means you're definitely having cervical action! Doesn't tell you when you'll go into labor, though with DS my water broke 24 hours after I lost my plug. Hope this means labor is very close for you if you baby's ready!

I lost a clear dime sized mucus thing about 4 days before the birth, then a bloodish clear quarter sized mucus thing the day before birth...so it could be!

At my last appt. Wed. I was 1 cm dilated and 30% effaced, so hopefully things will move along quicker since this is my second kiddo. I'm really tired of being pregnant.
