I know your mucus plug grows back but how many times are you supposed to lose it before there is a need for concern? Or just be concerned if its blood with it or cramping? Ive lost mine multiple times and I'm onky 26 weeks one time it had a pink tinge to it but wasnt bright red. Idk if I should be concerned that I'm dilating now and not just shortening because I have so much discharge all of a sudden and keep losing the plug.
You should call your doctor and make an appointment for good measure!
@momofboys3, honestly your doctor is going to know your situation better than us. And I would say it’s not overreacting if you call!
@momofboys3, you should call your OB. They may want to check it out!
@masseymomma16 @princessrose the only reason I am concerned is because I have short cervix and the pink tinge was last week but we rarely have sex because of it
My doctor cared nothing about the mucus plug. Only concern was if it was accompanied by fluid after or contractions.
I would only be concerned if it has blood. When did you have the pink tinge to it? I would ask your doctor. Sex can irritate your cervix too so that might be why it’s coming out more or is a little bloody. But I would call and ask to be sure.
every time I go to the bathroom I check to see if I'm losing my plug. I'm not 😞😩
OT. can you lose your water...
before you lose you mucus plug? or maybe just not notice that u lost your plug? I was in the shower and felt like I was peeing myself like 3 times. so I just stood there after I finished showering and got some toilet paper, next time it happened I caught some on the tp and looked at it and sniffed it (super gross I kno) and it didn't have a smell... but I don't think I've lost my mucus plug.. is this possible?
Mucus plug
So I started losing bits of my mucus plug & I know it's normal and can regenerate. The nurse told me it can happen and I still go to 41 weeks (I hope not). But I'm just curious what anyone else's experience with losing it early was in the past, did you still carry until a full 40 weeks? Or did you go a bit early?
If I went to the hospital for losing my plug and having a pinkish tint to it, will they check to see if I'm dilated or anything? Or would it be just a wasted trip?
so I'm only 18 weeks, is that to early to be losing pieces of your plug? idk if that's what it is or not but I'm just wondering.
If you're overly concerned, it's best to contact your doctor and let him/her know what's going on
