mucus plug

erinchrisitne424 · July 2014

Has anyone lost this yet? I am 27 weeks and I am pretty sire I lost mine today I called my doc because of blood when I wiped (this was after loosing the mucus earlier in the morning) he has me on watch for anymore blood, contractions, and counting kicks of LO I am out of state so if I end up having to go in it will be to a completely different hospital. I hope all goes well. I am very nervous. Thoughts and prayers are appreciated.

T&P for you! I have not lost my mucus plug, but with the bleeding I am sure something your dr will want to keep an eye on! Good luck, keep us posted!

MrsSinner402 · July 2014

T&Ps. Keep us posted.

T&P for you and your LO!

T&Ps for you!

Lots of women do lose their mucus plug early and it regenerates. It doesn't necessarily mean that labor is imminent, but you should definitely be cautious!! FX that baby stays put for some time yet!

Sending T&P!

Your plug can regenerate over and over. If you don't have anymore bleeding or contractions and lo is moving ok, hopefully you'll be fine. I'll keep you and lo in my thoughts today

I go back tothw state my doc is in on Friday so he wants to do a full evaluation then if I don't end up going to L&D down here in KY. I am nervous to drive up on my own like I am supposed to on Friday morning.

With my first I lost mine in one big clump. I was at the hospital delivering 2 days later. Keep a close eye on things. It won't be long if you have lost it. Continued T and P for you and your LO.

T&Ps, please keep us posted.

As PPs have said, lots of women lose their mucus plug over and over...I was told that it's fairly common and does not necessarily indicate labor. They can regenerate multiple times. It's does not mean "it won't be long now" at all.

OP, will be thinking of you. I hope you have an uneventful rest of your trip and a smooth drive home.

Thinking of you and hoping you and your LO stay safe!

T&P for you!

andrieya · July 2014

Oh gosh, I hope it can hold off at least until you get back home!!

DaniGrace89 · July 2014

FX!

vrj0522 · July 2014

T&Ps!

victoria+james · July 2014

Fingers crossed that LO stays put a while longer!

ashie0610 · July 2014

I hope everything turns out okay and you can make it home without any issues!

Saragoeswest · July 2014

This has been very informative. Best wishes to you!

ohdaddycat · July 2014

Sending T&P your way! Hopefully you make it home with no problems.

Prayers. Take it easy!

Way to scare the shit out of OP. Were you full term at that time? When you lose your mucus plug at full term you typically DO go into labor within 3 days, but even then there's no guarantee.

FX for you, OP. Take it easy.

And @Nicb13‌ I never saw mine with DS either. I assume it's because I had to be induced and that it was just part of what I never saw in the hospital.

AmandaJean12 · July 2014

Awww, I'd be stressed if I was out of town too. But i agree with pps, that it may not be a bad sign. Just trust your gut and if you feel like you need to get checked out at L&D, do it. Hopefully you make it back safe and sound and baby stays put for a while!

Does the mucous plug just look like a big clump of mucous? I don't think I saw mine last time I was pregnant.....

@Nicb13‌ Dare you to google it...

Some time ago (I don't remember if it was in my early days on TB or while I was on TTGP this last time), someone actually posted a picture of their mucus plug on 3rd tri, if I remember correctly. Fun times! ... :-&

Maggie6424 · July 2014

Nooo! Don't google it!!! It's one thing to see yours but it's beyond nasty to see someone else's. I've heard it can vary widely from snot looking to much more firm.

erinchrisitne424 · July 2014

The only good thing about being out of state is that I am visiting my husband so he is around. Thank you for the thoughts and prayers. So far so good I haven't had any contractions or anymore bleeding so I am trying to relax the next two days before making the 5 hour drive Friday morning. I also have my 3hr GTT in the morning so I'll really be taking it easy tomorrow.

kristine1989 · July 2014

Glad there's no contractions or anything. Take it easy if you can. I lost pieces of mine already but like they all say it regenerates.

meggiev123 · July 2014

Glad baby seems to want to stay put for awhile longer! FX things stay this way and that you have an uneventful trip home.

lrobi13 · July 2014

T's and P's headed your way. I hope you have a safe and uneventful drive.

I just googled mucus plug and it was regrettable. It's not worth it.

You're either very brave or very curious. =D>

Justabean3 · July 2014

Ya it's disgusting... Think giant brownish slug or parts of a slug in chunks...

erinchrisitne424 · July 2014

Yeah I googled it after how things went this morning and google was much more gross than reality.

HappyCianci · July 2014

Sorry you're dealing with this, OP. It's true that the mucus plug can come off in parts and regenerate, however the "bloody show" mucus is of a different sort, and more worrisome in terms of potential early dilation/effacement of your cervix.

I did go into labor a couple of days after seeing "bloody show" with my first. Of course it could be different for you. A friend of mine saw some bloody discharge at 29 weeks and went immediately for an ultrasound of her cervix, which showed it was still long and closed. She's 35 weeks now and still pregnant.

Take care, be well, and try not to worry until you have more information. xx

What really disturbs me... the amount of people photographing their mucus plugs and putting them on the internet. :-&
