I guess I was confused I lost mine in peices through out 2 days and the third day I went into labor and had my baby. So everyone is different

I lost mine in chunks as well. And it can rebuild itself (hence why going into labor can take so long).

i lost mine in chunks (tmi i know) over the course of 3-4 weeks. i went into labor 3-4 weeks after that. from what my ob told me it can be anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks before you go into labor after loosing the mucus plug.

The mucous plug is more gelatinous than slimy. Increase in discharge during pregnancy, especially in later pregnancy, is common.

And when you do lose your MP, it is not indicative of when you'll go into labor. Sorry! Hang in there and hopefully little one comes soon.
