    Question This may seem like a stupid question...

    therefore.. it probably is... lol

    But what happens to your plug when you have a c-section? Its not the doc goes rummaging in your basement region to pull it out - and I didn't notice it after either my c-sections (and my blood loss wasn't massive...)

    Mel honey things must be real slow at the office if you're pondering such questions!
    Just to say I have no clue, just here for moral support like SamiH! Personally I didn't have a c=sect but my plug was so minimal I certainly wouldn't have noticed it if it came out afterwards....

    i didnt even notice a plug with either of my pg's. first sign of labour for me was waters breaking both times.... before that ... nothing... so maybe some people have a big plug and some people have a little plug and some people have a medium size plug and .... i wonder if some people have almost no plug???????

    yep, things are pretty slow here too today...

    I *think* I read somewhere they suction you out a little, and since you had only a small blood loss after, maybe you were "cleaned out" a little???

    I too have no idea so maybe not such a stupid question after all...

    I would say that it would pass with the blood loss after birth....

    BTW when I have lost my plug I would berely know I have its just like a really have CM when I Ov so not that big a deal for me I am never even sure if thats what it is, as I never have a bloody show...
