Congrats on the pregnancy! Yes your mucus plug can come out a little at a time. It looks kinda like snot (sorry I know its gross). Labor can happen anytime after.

I lost mine at like 34 weeks I think...It's hard to remember that long ago...But I went into labor at 37 weeks....So it's different 4 every1.

The plug looks kinda like snot with a bloody show....But every1 is different. My discharge got worse and then oneday there it was. Lol and then my discharge was awful from there on out.
