Then I guess I have been losing some...I get a weird discharge like that every now and then. hmmmmm
It's not the same consistency. MP is the texture of Jell-O.
lol Latrice. I guess that's what I will be looking for too. I don't know why...I was just thinking about it today and really have no clue how to tell the difference. I know the contractions will let me know!! =)
I never thought about it, but my discharge has been yellowish, snot like, but in very small amounts. I told my ob about the color and she said its normal, but i never asked further about the mucus plug, guess im just waiting to feel some contractions thats 5 min apart lol.
Rosa...it's ok...when it comes to pregnancy, there is no such thing as TMI. haha. =)
I forgot to mention, sometimes when it does come out, I can actually feel something sliding down and it's the weirdest feeling ever!! Then I go to the bathroom and lo and behold, there is more thick discharge. I'm thinking it may be part of the plug, but not sure. This pregnancy has been so wacky for me! My OB and midwife don't seem to be concerned about unless there is blood in it again.
I have no clue now! lol Throughout my pregnancy, my "normal" discharge has been on the thicker side and usually more clear/white, but sometimes yellow as well. It's never been watery for me, well maybe the first few weeks, but that was it. I am really confused now and don't know why! ;) When I O, mine is always thin, clear, and super stretchy, it's different than that though. This is thick, yellowish, snotty -like.
I'm pretty sure the mucus plug is pretty much what it sound like. And I think it is harder in consistency. Many women experience a lot of discharge while they are pregnant, and your body may be getting ready for the baby to come especially since you are so far dialated. I went into labor myself with my second child and was 5cm when I got to the hospital and never saw the mucus plug so it could be something you don't even experience. I would suggest doing a little research on the internet or simply calling your doctor and asking the nurse what to look for.
hey girlie i remember when mine came out! Started at around 28 weeks and then at like 38 weeks i had a big blob of snot like discharge come out of me..like i felt it come out!! lol It was pretty grose...more or less like someone had blew a snot on me with a little bit of dark blood in it! But i hear you can lose it over the course of a few weeks!! lol sorry if that was to graffic for you!!! haha oh mie..me and my explaining things! hehe Well i still had to be induced a week over due !! So if its the preterm labour your worriying about then dont! lol ....Hope i helped a bit! :)
i thought a mucous plug was kinda like the O mucous...or maybe i'm wrong...i remember having chunks of mine come out and now that i think about it to me it was similar to big chunks of O mucous...i thought normal discharge is clear/white and more watery....
