Oh very good to know! Thanks for the info. I thought it was the same thing. Well keep us posted!!
Thank you ladies! Hope labor comes soon for you too.;)
The mucus plug is normally just a mucusy discharge. Like a glob of boogers. Mine were yellowish and took about three days to come out all the way.
Then on Saturday, I felt a lot of pressure in my pelvis so I went to the bathroom and peed. When I wiped there was blood and mucus together on the toilet paper.
A little bit more came out after that. I called my doctor and she said that labor is happening so to be ready to see my baby in a few days.
But he's still in there. ; (
You can lose your mucus plug anytime but it only counts if you have the bloody show with it, if not it usually replenishes itself.... But I lost my plug at 38 wks and still had mine 5 days after my due date, had 2 membrane sweeps and still had to be induced, he was stubborn but if they regulate and get intense and close together then it's time :) best of luck to you both!
Sounds like what I'm having! I'm due the 13th! What's the difference with "bloody show" and "mucus plug" ? I thought it was the same thing? I hope to read a post from you that says "in labor" soon :)
