Did anyone out there lose some of their plug in early pregnancy? Well the earlier half anyway?
Over the last probably 36 hours I've been to the loo 3 times & seen what looks a little bit like it could be a tiny bit of my plug. I'm not sure if I should worry or if I'm being paranoid.
I only really saw similar just before DD1's labour, but there was alot more & that was more a grey colour. What I have is white, & not much, but kinda thick & quite stringy iykwim? Not like normal cm.
I also had bad back pain the night I first saw it, but thats it. Nothing else to make me think anything is wrong.
I don't really know what to think. Because its only been once a day I've seen it also makes me think its not just normal cm.
Any ideas on what it could be, or reassurance that I'm right & that its nothing to worry about?
TIA
I had exactly what you described from around 16 weeks with Tristan, around 18ish weeks I started losing my plug. The OB was not concerned at all as the mucous plug itself can re-generate.
The back pain worries me a bit, but if it was a once off then I probably wouldn't worry. If it does continue be sure to get checked out. Better to lose a few hours and know everything is ok than sit worrying.
Hi Clover
I need to ask a few Q’s before I can answer.
Does this loss happen when you first get out of bed?
Is it smelly?
Is it frothy? Even a little
How long did your back pain last?
Are you itchy?
Is the loss thick like when you blow your nose or it more like a runny nose?
If you are a little embarrassed to answer here you can PM me
No, thats ok.
Not smelly, frothy or itchy at all. The first time I noticed it was Sunday night, about the size of a 20c piece, then yesterday morning, about the size of a 5c piece & tonight. The amount was probably between the other 2.
Its hard to describe what it was like. It wasn't runny. It was kinda thick & stringy, but not gluggy like glue, lol. I hope that made sense?
Oh, & the back pain lasted for about an hour. Just a constant ache.
Plug question *TMI*
