mucus plug..
So I see people post about a mucus plug. I'm a ftm an honestly I have no idea what it is. Can someone explain please?
im 37wks and just lost the WHOLE thing last night. its REALLLYYYY gross!! lmao!! my eyes were like "holy crap! its still coming!!" hahahah but im hoping labor comes soon! there was a light bit of blood :D
I had natural birth, didn't poo. If you do they clean it up.quick for you so you're not embarrassed trust me you won't care in the moment..
It's not terrible just looks like you blew your nose lol. Lost both mine after going pee, with this one I'm guessing its grown back that was 3 weeks ago now
Lol.....there is do much to learn huh :-) Did you also know that there is a chance that if you have a natural birth you'll do a poo at the same time. :-/
I lost mucus plug for months with both pregnancies. Doesn't mean much as it rebuilds yourself. Towards the end you'll possibly get a bloody show which is similar but can have streaks of blood in. We are told here if we have a bloody show to call labour ward
I think I'm going to have my hubby google it an if his facial expressions are weird i won't look haha
I just googled it. not gonna lie, that was disgusting. got a little queasy. but I was expecting it to be much more disgusting lol
Lol ladies I remember when I lost my plug with my daughter. It all came out no bloody tinge though ran and had to show my hubby. Went into labor within 24 hours after losing it. But then again each woman is different.
Lol I'm scared to look. I told my husband what it was an he nearly barfed haha
I lost a little of mine around 7-8 weeks, but it wasn't nearly as bad at the google images lol
Oh yea, when I was looking It up, It showed some Images... and that was not a pleasant sight. Lol! But, It's gonna happen to us eventually so might as well prepare for what It looks like! =-P
Lol thank you all. Eww that kind of sounds gross. So is that the reason for the discharge?
Lol, that's funny, didn't know It blocks websites! It's american pregnancy without spaces.
Throughout pregnancy, a mucus plug blocks the opening of the cervix to prevent bacteria from entering the uterus. Before labor, this mucus plug is expelled allowing the baby to pass through the cervix during labor and birth. Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and that your body is preparing for birth. Labor could be hours, days, or even weeks away as the cervix gradually opens. The mucus plug is usually clear, slightly pink or blood tinged in color. It can be stringy mucus or a sticky discharge.

Your body makes a plug ( cork, so you can immagine It) its made of muscus just like snot. It keeps your cervix from catching infections and such and helps protect baby. You can look up immages of them on google If you want a better picture. They can fall out pretty early Sometimes but your body will make new plugs or "fix" any part of one you may have lost some of. But If you loose it too early your body will regenerate it until its time for baby. :)
