Mucus Plug, Or Something Else? Posted: 02-02-06 20:46pm
I know this is gross you guys, so i'm
sorry in advance. This afternoon I got up
to use the restroom and when I wiped, I
noticed a slimy, almost snot-like
discharge. It was sort of light brown in
color, maybe even a little pink. Do you
think it was the mucus plug, or should I
be worried? I shouldn't be having this
baby for about 3 or 4 more weeks. How
soon does labor start after you lose your
mucus plug? I'm sort of concerned. I see
the doctor on saturday though... But
until then, what do you girls think?

The mucus plug can be dislodged by
practice contractions so dont worry. If
it wasnt a whole lot I would but it was
just part of it when I lost mine the first
time it was this big gob of bloody snot
and it felt so wet that at first I thought
my water had broken. Most of the time you
dont go into labor for another week or two
after you loose your plug according to my
mommy book

One of my cousins lost her plug about 2
weeks before she went into labour
