Hello,
I just wanted to know if anyone could give me some advice on this? Sorry if its a bit tmi!
I went to the bathroom earlier, and I had a big blob of mucus. It was like snot.
There was no blood or anything, but I havent seen something like it before, so i dont know what its meant to be like.
Could this be the start of my mucus plug or just a blob of normal CM??
Yeeeeessss!!!!!! Woohoo. Are you packed yet? Could still be a little while but yay! How exciting. Take care sweet and rest up!
Yep it could be a part of the plug, but isn't it more a bloody show that signals things are happening?
Sounds like the plug, or the start of it anyway. With mine I didn't have any blood. I lost mine about a week before having Nina. I didn't have a bloody show until an hour before she was born.
Yay, at least I'm not a freak. DH reckons this baby is going to come late, so we'll see what happens I suppose. I just dont think I can talk to him about it, or tell him about it. He'll just tell me I am gross!
Would I probably have a bloody show some time over the next couple weeks too?
I'm so clueless.
I had a slightly slighty bloody streaked plug, I think the blood is just an indicator that your Cervix is starting to thin.
Yes sounds like the plug to me. Not too much longer to wait now
Karina,
It's not uncommon to have what you describe and then a little later you may find some blood stained blobs!
This is all GOOD and shows that wonderful body of yours is doing just what it should to get your baby into your arms! :hug:
I didnt have a bloody show at first..... mine started on the monday... and the rest come out with blood tuesday night... DD was born weds morning
All the best.... could b a bubba on its way very soon!!
karina, sorry to jump in on your thread but just wanted to say thanks for asking this question!!i thought i lost my plug 5 days ago, but since nothing has happened was starting to doubt it(i never lost it with DS)..but mine was exactly as you described..so obviously it was..
here's hoping we both have babies soon!!
PS anyonee know how long it can be after losing plug to having baby??thankyou!!
Woohoo Karina - how exciting!
I think it can be up to 2 weeks before??
Correct me if im wrong-which is common!!
One of my preggo books says the baby will usually make an appearance within a week of the show/plug!
Fingers crossed!
Yay, thank for your replies everyone. I havent had any more "snot" so I guess I just get to sit around and wait now haha.
Fletch, we dont know its sex so its sort of yellow at the moment...
Christie, yay hope something happens for you soon!
Totalbabe
It could have been your plug. Sometimes you can loose the plug and nothing happens for a few days or even a couple of weks. The other option is that you only lost part of your plug.
I was shocked at just how much plug there is... I even rang the midwives worried about it, and they said that there is quite a bit. hehe.
I lost mine during my pre-labour diarrhoea, blobby & bloody.. so you can imagine the mess I was dealing with for 1 1/2 days! LOL.
YAY for Karina. At least one of us has had something happen!
Aww Rachel, I thought you had a bit of waters?
I don't know what it was. Nothing since though and certainly no baby coming now action!
What does it mean if the plug has blood in it?
Is that a good thing or a bad thing?
Yep Karina - the blood is an excellent sign! My first sign of imminent labour!
Yay, Thanks. Its good to know I'm a bit closer. I keep telling myself every day is one day closer, but i am still so impatient!
Just a few BH, but no pains or anything. It hasnt even been an hour since more of the plug came away, so I think I am expecting more plug to come away before anything more exciting happens!
I'm going to tell DH now. He'll probably tell me I am gross, but I'll tell him anyway heheh
How exciting Karina!!!
YAY Karina!! Hope it all starts soon for you..i'm pretty sure that once you get a bloody show that it is definately underway(bub is usually here within days from what i've read)..send some vibes my way!!!
and good luck!!
lol totalbabe, hope something happens for you soon.
how exciting Karina! when my plug came away with Ella it was only 26 hours later! sounds like we will have another birth announcement soon.....enjoy the lead up to the big day!
