I have been having little problems here and there sense I was about 27 weeks pregnant. I have yes been through a lot of stress sense I got pregnant. My husband is on deployment and I lived in biloxi-gulfport, mississippi. That where hurricane katrina hit. So yea stress I have had a little bit of that you can say. My question is, sense I was about 32 weeks I started discharging mucus. Never had this problem with my first 2 pregnacies. The mucus I know is normal I have been hearing that a lot but this mucus is different, no smell of course but very thick you could cut it with a knife and acually have to work at cutting it. Thats how thick this is. It never had any blood in it until about a week in a half ago. I started spotting of course I went to the birthing unit they said I was having some contraction but sent me home b/c I wasn't dilileted. Understanable right well sense then I stop spotting two days after that. Went to the doctor and he said that I was almost dilated 1 cm and I was about 80% afaced. What I don't understand is every sense I started this discharged I have been having contractions so what possibly do you think the mucus is the birthing unit said I didn't lose my plug the other night either. Then when I went to the doctor thursday he said he thought I might have lost my plug. The other question is if I did lose it about how long do I possibly have before I should go into labor he also put me on bed rest. What is your opinion? Cuz i'm a little worried. Should I be?
