Answer 1

I lost mine little by little and by 36 weeks it was gone according to my doctor, but I wasn't dilating yet. I had my daughter at 38 weeks.

Answer 2

you can lose it if you're not dilated, but your cervix at least has to be softened because there has to be a hole for it to come through, chances are, you're a fingertip open, which is nearly one centimeter dilation. As for the color, it's nothing to be concerned about (Midwife says mucus plug could be anywhere from light pink to green., my wife is still pregnant, and she's had it for the last three weeks.. .(Currently 3 days past due)

Answer 3

that sounds like a discharge. the mucus plug only comes out once. and yes you can lose it with out being dilated,i did.mine came out 2 months before i went into labor.

Answer 4

I have been told that this is probably your mucous plug

Answer 5

i have had that a few tymes i dont really recall wat its called but its not ur plug.. does it look like a heavy snail trail .? my doctor said its normal to have my sister had that too..it only gets heavier and more often too.. but call ur doctor n check thats wat they are there for..
