Hey girls, just a lil' update. I decided not to stress over it too much. I'm feeling just fine and Vincent's moving a lot as usual sooo..decided to wait a week for my next appointment.  I'm sure everything will be ok!  Thanks for your help  :)

V - don't pout!!!  Just go do Maddie's laundry for cryin' out loud, hon!!!  I think you could go anytime but enjoy these last two weeks.  I can't believe I'm only two days away - remember when we were just talking about our BFP's in August??  Did it go by really fast or what??

kelly they say some never lose their plug.... I wanna loose mine too I have only ever been induced so I have never been though any of the pre labor things...

[azqtpies]

yep, I would call just to be safe. If it is doesnt mean you are going to labor any minute it still could be weeks, but since it had a little blood probaly old! just call to be checked better to be safe. please keep us posted!!! dont panic all will be fine =)

I want to lose MY plug. Waaahhhhhhhh.

[Tanker Chic]

Boy, I'm lookin & lookin for mine, ha ha... Sounds like it to me but I don't remember ever losing it w/dd, hmmm, let us know what the dr says!!

[pcarsey]

Sounds like your mucus plug to me too Melanie! I would call, If there is any bloody show that could mean a whole lot more going on, but I would think that dark brown is just the plug maybe. Hopefully!! I will be thinking about you! Please rest, you are way too early to have that lil guy!!

[tahariel]

I agree, you should call your OB. It does sound like your mucus plug. With my youngest I lost mine 5 hours before my water broke, but I was just about 40 weeks. It had darker streaks and there was alot of it too.

Losing your mp does not mean labor is going to start right away, but call your doctor anyway because it is more common to lose your mp after 36 weeks when the cervix begins to soften. Best wishes.

I would call....just to be safe....they will tell you what to do
If it is your mucus plug ... you don't want to loose to much of it
A little is ok...........Just not alot
Good Luck!!

[AshleysMom]

Sounds like it to me.

I'd call your OB.  They can check to see if your cervix is dilating and keep an eye on things.  There are meds than stop pre-term labor, but like Sandi said it can happen earlier on.  With me, I lost the plug then started going into labor within hours.  

Also, your chances of everything being OK if you have your baby now are great.  

Please keep us posted!
