Sorry if this is TMI but I need to ask. When I go poop and I stand up to wipe I notice a lot of…

mucus plug hunny, mention it to your ob if your not far enough to be losing it

I took a picture of it but I really don't wanna gross anyone out lol should I call my ob now or wait for my next appointment?

If you aren't having bloody discharge, having contractions, or think your water has broken, you're probably alright. Mucous plugs can come out several times during pregnancy. They regenerate. Just keep an eye on yourself, that you aren't having mild contractions.

I was on the phone with my doctor and I lost service and it got disconnected I'm so mad. Now I'm on hold with them forever. -__- I hope it's not my mucas plug.

It's mucous it comes from pushing, meaning you are straining, meaning you need to get a stool softner, miralax, fibercon or something else to soften your stools so the just come out with no force

@musiowskij,

It's so nasty lol I'm so scared of anything happening to have the baby come early too that's my biggest fear! But thank you that makes me feel a bit better lol @mrssabby

@musiowskij, aww it's okay just get a stool softner that's what my doc told me and I've been fine until now I will be 37 Sunday so it's time for mine to start shedding but I still take the softner so I don't strain ir push too hard

Whenever the nurse calls me back I'll ask them about the stool softener. They take forever, I've been waiting for you to go into labor already! Lol @mrssabby

If it's not bloody there's nothing to worry about. Mucus plugs can come out multiple times during pregnancy, they regenerate themselves.

Phew good! :) @abbymattingly14

@musiowskij, nope they had me on so many meds to stop my labor I think they stopped it for good 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂this lil baby in there tight lol he was gonna induce me on the 1st but my due date is the 8th so I can wait lol, yeah if they don't call stool softners are fine I would go with ducolax I think that's how it's spelled lol

Hahaha they can give meds to stop labor? That's awesome lol, the nurse finally called me back and they are having me come in tomorrow. I'm not sure what they're going to do.. Any idea? @mrssabby

@musiowskij, gonna check you cause if your mucous plug is thinning or coming out then your cervix is thinning, that's why u said it not good it happened to me lol, I was in preterm labor twice they gave me magnesium, betamethasone, and procardia every 6hrs around the clock for 3mths and progesterone injections weekly

Holy cow that's a lot! Lol anything though to keep the baby in there :) I'll let you know what they say tomorrow. Now I just want it to be that time so I'm not worrying. Ugh I asked them if it could be from pushing on the toilet and they said since it was a lot there's a chance it's my mucous plug. D: my husband likes to think its from me working so much.. He's trying to get my to quit my job lol so much on my mind @mrssabby

Don't quit just go on early maternity leave or have your doctor to write you a note for less hours@musiowskij

Well I'm just a cashier at Kmart, and they cut my hours down to 12 hours a week and my husband is still bitching. Haha @mrssabby

@musiowskij, aww man he should be happy lol wish I was still working 12 hrs a week lol

12 hours is like perfect haha

@mrssabby, I went to the doctor and she said that my cervix is closed but she wants me to rest more and drink more water. What I had could be discharge cuz us preggies have more discharge than normal.

@musiowskij, oh okay cool glad everything is okay
