TMI: What does a mucus plug look like?

in Northern California Babies

I just ran off to the bathroom because it felt like it does when my period starts. I discovered a lot of stringy white discharge. No blood, no color to it. Could this have been my mucus plug or part of it?

Per my midwife, I started taking Evening Primrose Oil this week to help ripen my cervix since I've got an early induction scheduled. Do you think this is a good sign that it's working or just a normal pregnancy thing that I haven't experienced before?

    If I recall correctly, it looked like snot, a lot of it.  Hope this is the sign you're looking for! Smile

    Yup. I lost mine in a couple chunks with DD, didn't go into labor for about a week or so. With DS, it was the gift that just kept giving...and giving. I swear I lost some of the plug all day every day for weeks. Grosssssssssss....

    And I cannot believe you are so close! Wow!!

    I was induced with Eve as well. And had barely even effaced when they started things last time. I feel like a first time mom as far as labor possibly starting on its own is concerned.
