Mucus Plug Eeek!

So I am currently 32 weeks with my third baby.
Two days ago I started to have some back pain. All lower back and would occasionally radiate to my hip area with a little bit of pressure. I did do a little more walking then normal. My baby has been head down for 2 months now and facing my back. So I figured it was just from her.
Sunday (last night) started to get nauseous and I ended up vomiting. (yuck) Was uncomfortable all day and night.

Woke up today feeling blah but decided those dishes weren't gonna do themselves so I started to wash. While standing there I had a "sensation" of something down there...it was as if I needed to wipe and I got real wet. So I went to the bathroom and wiped a big "glob" of creamy snot like mucus. Only way to describe it. I have had some good cramping all day since but nothing too bad. Back has been aching all day. I was induced with my first two children and never experienced pre term labor, losing my plug, etc...so this is all new to me! I'm assuming since there is no blood I am OK to wait till my appt next week. I guess I'm super nervous being only 32 weeks!

    Yea you should be just fine :) you can lose your mucus plug and it can just regenerate at that early. Drink water and lay on your left side. I have been going through the exact same and here I am 35 weeks and still kicking :)

    I lost mine with my first at 36wks. Needles to say I went on to 41wks 4 days with and induction and then C section. I read that it will grow back some.

    I lost part of mine at 32 weeks and I'm 33 today. I told my doctor at the appointment and she said she's not concerned - just happens sometimes and means your body is progressing so no reason to press the panic button. BUT you do need to tell your OB.

    I've lost mine much later in all of my pregnancies. It's hands down the GROSSEST thing I have ever experienced.
    I've still always had to be induced. So it really wasn't a factor for me. Although those back cramps are more concerning to me at this stage.

    While you can lose it and it can regenerate, I'd still call the doc to see if they want you to go in. I know my mom had back labor for her pregnancies and just experienced the back pain!
