  I was just telling someone I hate the mucus plug. It's just another mind game. Literally you could have a baby hours later or 3 weeks later. It just means your cervix is getting ready for baby, but baby might not be ready yet. 
  
  I started losing a little of mine today but I'm not getting excited yet.  sorry I can't offer any hope and say when to expect baby.

  I'm not in freaking out mode just yet. DF is a little bit lol! I just looked back into my pics (yes, I still have a pic of it, lol!) And it was only 3 days before DS was born.

  I lost mine around 27 weeks in the hospital then again yesterday. They told me it regenerate. I have nurses come daily to my house to do NST tests for other reasons and the nurse today just said the same thing as others. It could be hours or weeks. I'm 35 weeks 4 days right now.

  I have lost mine the day before labor with both kids. But that's not always the case.

  At least we were spared the description about color and texture? Although the red raspberry tea was critical information that I think was not given to Aug. which is probably what caused some of those snarky responses

  No, it's there too. Cause obviously RRL tea makes your mucus plug pop like a champagne bottle.
  
  Good catch. I don't always read the August board. Although maybe I should they really handled this.

  Just went over and read it there. I know you guys said we were a nice group, but I didn't realize HOW nice. I was also thinking "really? You think the RRL tea made you mucus plug fall out?"  How ridiculous

  I cross posted this seeing how my EDD is Aug 31st. And, since it's been 5 years between pregnancies, I feel like a FTM all over again! Jeeze. Sorry if I provided info that sparked snarky remarks. If I'm going to be flamed for drinking my RLL tea, then whatever. Idk if that could have an effect so soon. Im not saying it was the cause of "this event". But i do believebelieve there are herbs and oils to help with labor. So, I guess you all can also flame me for taking a holistic approach to living a healthy lifestyle, cloth diapering and going med free during labor and delivery. Take this how you will, but I won't be back with anymore questions in hopes to get helpful answers.

  Oh honey, nobody is flaming you for drinking tea. This could've been posted in the labor thread or even the TMI thread and (possibly) not received flames. Mucus plug questions are generally frowned upon anyway because losing it doesn't tell you when you are going to go into labor. Other women's experiences with their MP have no bearing on your body and what it's going to do, so your question doesn't really make sense.

  Omg, so I just saw that she posted a description of it on the August board.

  @TheTamedShrew I made the mistake of looking. I'm highly offended by the world "gelatinous". Just no. NO. Sit down girl.

  I must suck since I don't plan on having a med free birth AT ALL and honestly, screw cloth diapering. I don't have time for that
  
  but I did hear rubbing oil on your taint can help labor...maybe try that?

  @seitzy3 But make sure it's organic EVOO blessed by nuns in the hills of Tuscany. Otherwise what's the point?

  If you drink RRL tea, it may slightly make up for your lack of caring.

  No, no, breastmilk only for my taint.  Nothing unnatural is coming near my baby garden.

  I don't understand how parenting choices have anything to do with ridiculous questions easily answered by a Google search. I cloth diaper and went med free, no way am I posting about MP.

  I don't seem to understand how a simple question like asking when people have gone into labor after losing there plug has turned into a forum for making fun of the poster to the point that she seems to have left. if you think it's a dumb post why not just leave it alone. No new posts means it will get buried under other more relevant posts. No need to bully someone who seems to be anxious and nervous as it is.

  Aww cute. A WK If she can't handle a few fairly tame comments then she's probably a bit too sensitive for public forums.
