Mucous Plug

Has anyone on here began to lose their mucous plug?? I think I'm losing mine but I'm not certain. We had sex yesterday afternoon, and this morning when I wiped there was a clear/white snot like string that came out =/ (sorry if TMI) but it happened twice this morning, and I can't tell if it's semen or part of my mucous plug. Can semen even stay in you for that long when it has no where to go? (since my cervix is obviously sealed.) lol. I can't remember if this happens whenever we have sex or if I'm just picking at every detail now bc I want the baby out.. haha. Help meeeee!

I lost a little of mine on Wed. I wiped too and there was a yellowish snot like stuff on the toilet tissue. I lost my mucus plug with my first while being induced between 2-4cm and I was past 70% dilated so I am expecting to lose this one while I am being induced unless I go into labor on my own within the next 9 days.

I think I lost some of mine yesterday - twice when I peed, I wiped and there was a snot ball - not huge like the last pregnancy when I lost it, just a little bit - yellowish in color.  Nothing to write home about - it'll probably re-grow itself and then I'll have to lose it again before I go in to labor - but it was exciting, none the less - a new symptom headed towards delivery!  Yeah! :-)

Haha - you'll know for sure when you do lose it!  I mean, being that it's called "mucus plug" - it is just that - something pretty much like mucus from your nose but a lot bigger and possibly with blood streaks.  It's pretty gross - lol  I hope you get to lose yours so you can enjoy the fun, too...haha  I haven't lost mine yet this time..but I lost it last time right before I hit 40 weeks.

My friend didn't even have a bloody show, she just lost hers in pieces over a couple weeks. She said it looked like string snot. lol ew. But there was no blood. But, with her first baby, she lost it all at once with blood. So idk.
