This morning I had some, forgive me, but snotty like discharge. My mom says it's the mucous plug. Well, it wasn't much and there hasn't been anymore since then. I guess I am wondering what others have experienced at this point in pregnancy?

Bless you honey; I know that feeling! You will more than likely go to your due date; it was two weeks after I lost mine when my daughter came. Your doctor should be seeing you weekly by now; he or she will check to see if you've dilated so you'll know how far along you are towards going into labor. Try to get out and walk; I used to pace the local mall and Walmart those last few weeks. Babies don't run on a schedule though; it could be any time! Good luck!

Yes, it sounds like your mucous plug came out. The cramping is normal too, both the plug comming out and the cramping is an indication that your cervix is starting to dilate. You can have the baby at any time now, but it can still take up to 2 weeks after these symptoms begin for labor to begin. Time to relax and take time for yourself these last few days before baby comes. Congrats!

Some women lose the plug in one big piece, others lose it a little at a time. Still others never notice anything at all (I was one of those moms). The cramping is possibly early contractions or Braxton-Hicks. You're getting close. It won't be long now!

I've had 4 children. I had heavy Braxton-Hicks with my last 2 throughout the last trimester. It was very disconcerting but completely normal my doctor assured me. WIth my 3rd, I lost my mucus plug after mowing the lawn in the early afternoon and went into labor that evening. If you have any concerns or the pain increases or begins to show a pattern, call your doctor.

WooHoo! The plug is the first step. With my third I lost the plug and then walked every single isle in the Super WalMart. It took me 3 hours. The next morning before dawn, I was in labor. Good luck and God's blessing to your family.

Sounds like you are on your way!!! My youngest daughter bday is March 30..lol. Just walk, have sex...and relax. It won't be much longer. Keep track of what happens from here on out. Just so you can be sure to have all the information when the doctors and hospital asks for it. I'm mom to 3.

Oh, yeah...you are very close now.
The sex and walking suggestion is exactly what you should be doing.
Good luck.
