but if you've dilated already have you more than likely lost your MP already?? Or can it stay even after you've dilated? I've been dilated to 3 cm for over a week but never obviously lost my MP...is it possible I still have it or is it pretty unlikely??
On the day I was induced with DS, I was already 4 cm dilated. I had lost some of my mucus plug, but maybe not all of it. You can lose it in pieces and sometimes it isn't obvious, especially if you have a lot of discharge normally.
With both my kids I never lost my plug...or I didnt know I did. I had heard of them but didnt even know what they looked like or anything. So imagine my surprise a few nights ago when I lost mine. I was shocked. Anyway, losing your mucous plug before labor begins etc. is not always a given.
