I'm 1 day overdue, I thought I lost my mucus plug, but I keep having LOTS of discharge is this normal?!?

Question

I keep having thick mucusy discharge come out still! Sorry if TMI, I thought once you lost your plug that was it? I was due yesterday...would be nice to know if I was going into labor soon..thanks

Answer 1

Your plug can come out all at once or in pieces and can keep coming for a while, plus, once it us gone, the "plug" keeping all that stuff in there is gone, so there will be more discharge. It is perfectly normal and def. a sign that labor is on it's way.

If you want some ideas to get things moving, I can help there too.

Congratulations and don't worry, you will be holding your sweet little one soon :-)

blessings,
Mom of 5 with another on the way

Answer 2

you are going soonl following the plug is a lot of mucus. i describe it as your belly is an upside down milk container. when its too full the top pops off and u begin to leak. have sex and less than a couple hours later you will be having albor pains. thats what i did. had my bby shortly after. congrats

Answer 3

From what I have been told you can go another two weeks. Do you go in often to see your doctor? I would call and ask just to make sure. Good luck with everything!

And as always, if you have concerns, talk to your doctor.

Answer 7

you need to see your Dr. My water broke and I never had a contraction so they had to induce me. So I would say go to the hospital and get checked they can tell if its amniotic fluid or not.
