I cant remember what it looked like, but
you can loose the mucus plug early and be
fine and not dilate for awhile.

No my obgyn is a
serious problem. He hasn't even given me
an ultrasound! I haven't had a damn
ultrasound throughout my whole pregnancy,
except when I was in the philippines, but
I dont trust their technology, and that
was way back in august.
I'm pissed off because it's like he treats
me differently since i'm a young patient.
He hasn't talked to me about anything.
All I do when I go in for my daily
checkup, is get my weight checked, blood
pressure checked, babys heart beat &
length checked, and that's it!
I wanna switch doctors but i'm too far
along and my doctor had to switch me to a
specialist for high risk patients
i've been having braxton hicks
contractions, they hurt! I'm hoping to go
into labor soon i'm tired of
pregnancy! But I dont even have
everything set yet, so she has to stay in
me for another week or so and we're good
to go :d
how are you hun??

I guess im as good as I can be right now.
Long story but it is the x, and my
boyfriends x.. Oh well.. About you..
When was the last time you had a check up
by vaginal. Also if you are not happy
with how you are being treated you can
alwyas report him to the medical board.
Also if you are still feeling real bad you
can always go to the hospital and they
will determine what to do.

i hope this helps
mucus plug: bloody show
throughout pregnancy a mucus plug blocks
the opening to the cervix to prevent
bacteria from entering. Before labor,
this mucus plug is expelled so that the
cervix can open to allow the baby to pass
through to prepare for delivery.
How soon after my mucus plug passes will
labor begin?
Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your
cervix is dilating and your body is
starting to prepare for birth. Labor
could be hours, days, or even weeks away
as the cervix gradually opens over time.
What does a mucus plug look like?
A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink
or blood tinged in color. It may be
stringy mucus or sticky discharge. Some
women may not even notice the loss of
their mucus plug because there is already
so much vaginal discharge during
pregnancy.
