I'm 39 weeks today. My mucus plug has been coming out for 5 days. Is this normal? This is my third baby girl. I've been having pain in my back and in the inside of my thighs.
Yes. Mucus plugs try to regenerate themselves. I lost mine 3 weeks ago & have been having mucousy discharge since. Talked to my doc about it yesterday & she said it's normal.
Yep, normal! It can regenerate and happen again, too. As for the pain, ugh, I feel you. Baby is getting lower and closer to coming out....sitting on my pubic bone, ouch. And it's hard on your back to carry around a 9-monther! This, too, shall pass, in a couple weeks
Welcome newcomer! A great way to check and see if you have similar symptoms as other expecting moms on here is to check out the daily symptoms threads. Please feel free to commiserate with the rest of us on that thread. If you have more time please browse through other posts on here to get a feel for the community. Also I recommend reading through the May birth month boards to see what they have all just experienced, it's a great resource.
