I lost my mucus plug at 28 weeks, 31 weeks, and again last Monday at 35 weeks. Can lose in bits, all at once, but by our body will make more. Imagine my surprise as a ftm lossing it and freaking out. I've been reassured it reproduces!

The plug can regenerate throughout your pregnancy. I have had brown discharge for ab 2 days following my last 2 dilation checks, it's pretty common. I lost some of my plug last Friday which got me all excited but here I am a week later still prego.
