Original Question

What does the mucus plug in pregnancy look like?

Q. I know that this is a disgusting question, but I am 34 weeks pregnant and just passed something that looked like a slug. It was white with streaks of brown in it. Could this be my mucus plug and if so, isn't it a little early to be passing it? Should I be calling my doctor right now or wait until the morning?

A. That would be part of your plug-it is normal to start losing it as early as 29 weeks. You do not have to call your doctor, just let them know that you lost some at your next app. I started losing mine a week ago and I am 33 weeks. And trust me there is a large amount of plug you have to lose and it can take several days or weeks to lose it all. Soon you will be going UHHHH again? More? yes more and more of it will sneek out in little or big bits. The brown streaks is normal and even a tint of red is too. I always say it looks like I blew my nose in my underwear when I have a bad cold! LOL It is nasty but it is normal!

Original Question

Lost my mucus plug how long till I start dilating and go into labor?

Q. This is my first pregnancy and I am just curious. I lost what I think was my mucus plug yesterday and I was wondering how long till I dilate and is there any way I can tell myself if I am? Also what will help speed up the process I'm miserable?

A. Everyone I have known who has been pregnant has said their doctor told them that it can actually take up to two weeks for the baby to be born... My friend who is pregnant right now, her first pregnancy she lost her plug 3 weeks before birth, which is not normal at all. She just lost her mucus plug about a week ago with this pregnancy, and isn't due for another 3 weeks. So, what I am getting at is that you should have your baby anytime between now and two weeks from now. This is a pretty unpredictable time in your pregnancy as for when the baby will come. Good luck!

Original Question

How long does it take for your mucus plug to pass?

Q. I am 8 months pregnant and on Thursday I went to the doctor and he told me I had passed my mucus plug and I am 2 cm dilated. About 10 minutes ago I went to the bathroom, and I peed. When I wiped myself there was a little spot of what looked like mucus. Is my mucus plug still passing? This is my first pregnancy so I'm confused.

A. i was reading on google that sometimes if a woman that is pregnant has alot more discharge than normal she may not notice the mucus plug passing... because it varies in look... mucusy, watery, tinged with blood, brown, pink....... its all different. but if the doc said that you "passed" it already then thats that i guess....

Q. Passed my mucus plug this afternoon this I'm positive of. My due date was yesterday. This is second pregnancy. First baby was 4 days early. Been having alot of Braxton Hicks. Last Monday dr checked cervix and said nothings happened yet and come back in a week. I know no matter what delivery won't be much longer. Just wondering any estimate of how long before true labor begins after mucus plug passed.

A. Ive been loosing small pieces of my plug for weeks now(hasnt had blood in it). Well im 9 days late and STILL pregnant...

How long after you lost your mucus plug did you go into labor?

Q. I started losing my mucus plug a week ago today... I'm 36 weeks today. I've been losing a little bit each day. I was wondering how long after you lost your mucus plug that you went into labor? I am SO ready for this baby to be here! I know every pregnancy is different. Some women lose it a month before, and some lose it when labor starts... but just wondered when you did?

A. I started to lose my mucus plug at 32 weeks, had premature labor a few days later, but didn't actually have my son until I was 42 weeks. What I am saying is don't be to excited about going to the hospital soon, but do have your hospital bag backed because one you are already getting close to your due date and two your body is making the preparations for labor. Labor can happen any time but its always good to be ready to go.

Original Question

Is it safe to use Monistat 3 once your mucus plug has fallen out?

Q. I'm right at the end of my pregnancy, about a week to go and I have a terrible yeast infection. I know monistat is fine to use when pregnant but is it still safe to use once the mucus plug has fallen out and there's no longer that barrier? The monistat I'm speaking of is the cream that is inserted into the vagina.

Please let me know, I'd like to start tonight if safe!

A. Honeslty you should call and ask your OB tomorrow or even call the hospital and ask a nurse tonight if you need to. I know it is safe during pregnancy but not so sure after you lose your mucus plug. There is no protection now without it..
Better safe then sorry, right?

Good luck :)

Q. I am 26 weeks pregnant. Not sure if the mucus plug is coming out or it's just pregnancy discharge. I know, kinda a gross question. But wondering when it's supposed to come out and how do you know the difference between that and regular discharge. Thanks!

A. it usually comes away not long before labour starts, but when you are pregnant you do have alot of mucus and it comes and goes at different times during your pregnancy. You'll know if it's your plug cause it will be about the size of a 50 cent piece and it will be thick and bloody. See your doctor if your still worried.

Can your mucus plug have a brown tint to it?

Q. I'm not sure if it was my mucus plug or not, but I just went to the bathroom and notice a some what large snot like discharge on my underwear. When I wiped it off it had a brown tint to it. With my first pregnancy my mucus plug was more clear with a slight blood streak in it. So I'm not sure if this too is my mucus plug or just normal discharge.

Thanks ladies for your answers.

A. My mucus plug with my first had brown in it --- especially if I had just recently had a cervical exam or had sex. Brown is just old blood.

This pregnancy my mucus plug hasn't had any tint to it --- just yellowish/clearish mucus.


It can range anywhere from clear to yellow ... and with small amounts of pink, red or brown blood in it ... or none at all.

How do you know when you lose the mucus plug? And what is it?

Q. This is my first pregnancy and I've heard about the mucus plug here on yahoo answers. I've been reading what to expect when you're expecting every month but I haven't gotten to that part. I'm 28 weeks and have a lot of white discharge sometimes. It is thicker than regular vaginal discharge and smells stronger. Is that the mucus plug??? Should I be concerned? I will talk to my doctor about this.

A. When you lose your mucus plug, it may be a little or a lot of gel like material. It will may be in a glob, stringy or just wetness. The mucus plug is clear to yellow-brownish in color, but may also be pinkish.Losing your mucus plug does not necessarily mean you are in labor. This can occur up to two weeks before labor begins. This can also occur right as labor is beginning. You will have to wait and see if you have any other signs of labor. Such as your water breaks or you begin to have contractions.

Labor can happen any time but its always good to be ready to go.

How long after you lost your mucus plug did you go into labor?

Q. I started losing my mucus plug a week ago today... I'm 36 weeks today. I've been losing a little bit each day. I was wondering how long after you lost your mucus plug that you went into labor? I am SO ready for this baby to be here! I know every pregnancy is different. Some women lose it a month before, and some lose it when labor starts... but just wondered when you did?

Original Question

When is the mucus plug supposed to come out?

Q. I am 26 weeks pregnant. Not sure if the mucus plug is coming out or it's just pregnancy discharge. I know, kinda a gross question. But wondering when it's supposed to come out and how do you know the difference between that and regular discharge. Thanks!

A. it usually comes away not long before labour starts, but when you are pregnant you do have alot of mucus and it comes and goes at different times during your pregnancy. You'll know if it's your plug cause it will be about the size of a 50 cent piece and it will be thick and bloody. See your doctor if your still worried.

Original Question

Is it safe to use Monistat 3 once your mucus plug has fallen out?

Q. I'm right at the end of my pregnancy, about a week to go and I have a terrible yeast infection. I know monistat is fine to use when pregnant but is it still safe to use once the mucus plug has fallen out and there's no longer that barrier? The monistat I'm speaking of is the cream that is inserted into the vagina.

Please let me know, I'd like to start tonight if safe!

A. Honeslty you should call and ask your OB tomorrow or even call the hospital and ask a nurse tonight if you need to. I know it is safe during pregnancy but not so sure after you lose your mucus plug. There is no protection now without it..
Better safe then sorry, right?

Good luck :)

Lost my mucus plug how long till I start dilating and go into labor?

Q. This is my first pregnancy and I am just curious. I lost what I think was my mucus plug yesterday and I was wondering how long till I dilate and is there any way I can tell myself if I am? Also what will help speed up the process I'm miserable?

A. Everyone I have known who has been pregnant has said their doctor told them that it can actually take up to two weeks for the baby to be born... My friend who is pregnant right now, her first pregnancy she lost her plug 3 weeks before birth, which is not normal at all. She just lost her mucus plug about a week ago with this pregnancy, and isn't due for another 3 weeks. So, what I am getting at is that you should have your baby anytime between now and two weeks from now. This is a pretty unpredictable time in your pregnancy as for when the baby will come. Good luck!

How long does it take for your mucus plug to pass?

Q. I am 8 months pregnant and on Thursday I went to the doctor and he told me I had passed my mucus plug and I am 2 cm dilated. About 10 minutes ago I went to the bathroom, and I peed. When I wiped myself there was a little spot of what looked like mucus. Is my mucus plug still passing? This is my first pregnancy so I'm confused.

A. i was reading on google that sometimes if a woman that is pregnant has alot more discharge than normal she may not notice the mucus plug passing... because it varies in look... mucusy, watery, tinged with blood, brown, pink....... its all different. but if the doc said that you "passed" it already then thats that i guess....

Original Question

How do you know when you lose the mucus plug? And what is it?

Q. This is my first pregnancy and I've heard about the mucus plug here on yahoo answers. I've been reading what to expect when you're expecting every month but I haven't gotten to that part. I'm 28 weeks and have a lot of white discharge sometimes. It is thicker than regular vaginal discharge and smells stronger. Is that the mucus plug??? Should I be concerned? I will talk to my doctor about this.

A. When you lose your mucus plug, it may be a little or a lot of gel like material. It will may be in a glob, stringy or just wetness. The mucus plug is clear to yellow-brownish in color, but may also be pinkish.Losing your mucus plug does not necessarily mean you are in labor. This can occur up to two weeks before labor begins. This can also occur right as labor is beginning. You will have to wait and see if you have any other signs of labor. Such as your water breaks or you begin to have contractions.

Original Question

What does the mucus plug in pregnancy look like?

Q. I know that this is a disgusting question, but I am 34 weeks pregnant and just passed something that looked like a slug. It was white with streaks of brown in it. Could this be my mucus plug and if so, isn't it a little early to be passing it? Should I be calling my doctor right now or wait until the morning?

A. That would be part of your plug-it is normal to start losing it as early as 29 weeks. You do not have to call your doctor, just let them know that you lost some at your next app. I started losing mine a week ago and I am 33 weeks. And trust me there is a large amount of plug you have to lose and it can take several days or weeks to lose it all. Soon you will be going UHHHH again? More? yes more and more of it will sneek out in little or big bits. The brown streaks is normal and even a tint of red is too. I always say it looks like I blew my nose in my underwear when I have a bad cold! LOL It is nasty but it is normal!

Can your mucus plug have a brown tint to it?

Q. I'm not sure if it was my mucus plug or not, but I just went to the bathroom and notice a some what large snot like discharge on my underwear. When I wiped it off it had a brown tint to it. With my first pregnancy my mucus plug was more clear with a slight blood streak in it. So I'm not sure if this too is my mucus plug or just normal discharge.

Thanks ladies for your answers.

A. My mucus plug with my first had brown in it --- especially if I had just recently had a cervical exam or had sex. Brown is just old blood.

This pregnancy my mucus plug hasn't had any tint to it --- just yellowish/clearish mucus.


It can range anywhere from clear to yellow ... and with small amounts of pink, red or brown blood in it ... or none at all.

Original Question

Can somebody explain,if mucus plug is broken can be seen by ultrasound?

Q. If the mucus plug is broken early in pregnancy can be detected by abdominal ultrasound, can be seen there or it can be seen by another way?
If you walk to much can mucus plug be broken?
