I didn't lose my mucus plug until labor, and mine came out in chunks. I was loosing it for about 5 hours of my labor, when I went to the bathroom, I would see red snot type chunks on the toliet paper everytime I wiped. It was bigger than I thought it would be too. It's not a small piece, it will be big when it comes out because it seals the baby in from the outside.
I'm 35 weeks and lately I've had large amounts of thick discharge could that be my mucus plug?
But the mucus plug will keep reproducing so once it starts to come out it will keep reproducing until you go into labor
When my water broke the plug was speed out in my inderwear it was like the size of half a sky remote it just looked like heavy snot(sorry)
