TIA for any answers > > It doesn't " all come out " ...because the mucus plug isn't a " thing " like a cork...it's actually just mucus. Same thing that you get in your nose when you have a cold. And just like you can blow your nose and hours later have a stuffy nose again...same thing with the mucus plug. You can lose some/all of it...and it can rebuild. Your body is always making mucus...it's just that the hormonal balance in pregnancy is such that it makes your normal cervical mucus very thick so that when your cervix begins to change you might notice the loss of some of that thick mucus - either as a big thing, or pieces of thick discharge... but that's not an " all of it " because your body will continue producing mucus...even throughout labor you lose mucus...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Since I haven't lost mine yet this time I'm not sure how its going to be, but when I lost mine with my son there was no " slime " involved. I went potty and after peeing heard a plop, I looked into the potty and there was a thumb tip sized blob of goo tinged with blood. I wiped and had some spotty looking blood on the tissue, but that was it. Like everything else, its probably really individual, but as close as you are to your delivery date I wouldn't be surprised if you're on the verge of going into labor. Counting down the days (5 more for me) with you, Toi > How do you know if it all came out?? I know Marcy said she lost some the > other day and then the other a couple days later.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Robin, The day before I delivered Blake, I sat down to pee and then I heard a *plop*. Upon looking into the commode for the *plop* I noticed a blob of yellowish-blood-tinged blob (lol) about the size of an OB tampon. It looked like a squishy OB tampon. lol That's all I lost. Nothing til then, nothing after then. Of course, I delivered 24 hours later through my abdomen, so the *plug-blob-thingy* meant nothing to me. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
