Mucus Plug (sorry.. I know.. how gross! ha ha ha)

What does the mucus plug look like? And if it's coming out (this is my 3rd) how much longer do I have? (It never came out with my other two until the Dr. broke my water!) Someone said like a yellow/greenish looking "snot" type of material.. any input? (Sorry so graphic.. how gross! ha ha!) Thanks! Jen  :)

Definitely like your plug!  They can be yellow/green/brown too!!  Walk, walk, walk.  Your time is probably soon.

mine was a light brownish blood (like your period was on its way). whatever it is, i am sure it has something to do with that baby coming!

JEN!!  Are you losing your plug!?!  YEY!!

It's like blood-tinged snot.  It could come out slowly though -  necessarily come out all in one clump.  Is that what you're seeing?
