I have a TOTAL TMI question and I'm sorry if it's gross, but hey, we're all moms here! 🙈

As some of you have probably read before I'm not a first time mom but this pregnancy is completely different for me for so many reasons. I was induced with my first pregnancy the day before I turned 40 weeks so anything I'm experiencing now at 39 weeks and 5 days is all new to me. From the pains to the mucus plus to pretty everything.

My question for y'all is how long does it take for your mucus plug to FULLY fall out?

I had my membranes stripped on Wednesday, Thursday I lost what I thought was my entire mucus plug. All day Thursday I kept losing more and more. Today when I woke up and used the bathroom a big huge chunk was present when I wiped. More than I've ever seen before. I was certain that was all of it due to the size. I've been waiting all day for my water to break thinking that's the next step. Well, I came into the bathroom probably about 35-40 minutes ago and yet again, more of my mucus plug. This is twice now today that I've lost so much. I don't remember ever experiencing this with my first pregnancy so I have no clue what to really expect. I know everyone says it's like a "snot" looking thing, which it is, but is it really THAT much? Is the mucus plug really that big in size? I feel like an idiot not knowing any this lol My due date is this Sunday so I'm just assuming he's starting to get ready and my body is too which why it's all happening within these last couple days.
