Losing my mucous plug?

Can you lose the mucous plug a little bit over time or is it usually all at once? I've had a lot of cm the past few days and this morning, I noticed a small spot of blood in my undies. Could this be the start of losing it? The super gooey cm and spot of blood?

Martikadragoon- hahahaha that's a great way to put it!
The mucous I've had hasn't really been colored at all, except for the tiny spot of blood in my unds, but it's been super gooey like the egg white cm we always looked for during O time.

I lost mine all at once and went into labor a few hours later. With my second I never lost it at all and so far at 36 wks 3dys I haven't started loosing yet. Good luck.

I just want to make sure my body is getting prepared for bean's arrival! I know nothing will induce labor unless it's time, but I can't definitely make sure I get my body ready!

Lol your making a really good effort for this little bean to show up! I was 41 weeks when my water broke and i was scheduled to be induced the next day. So it felt like I was pregnant forever lol.

I lost mine over a four day period and it was like really really thick cervical mucous. It was clear with like a yellowish pink tinge. And it looked like boogers.  Then my water broke.

I've been told you can lose bits and pieces rather than the whole thing by my ob.  I'm kinda freaked out about it falling out eventually lol
