Mucous plug without blood??

[MollyMalone]

I went to the toilet earlier and felt like I had something inside the entrance of my vagina, when I wiped it was like a transparent blob, sort of like "flubber", then I looked and had some on my underwear too. There was no blood or anything mixed in it. Could it be my plug?
I know some can be lost during pregnancy anyway.

The thing is I'm not on strict bed rest, but have to be off work and resting as much as posible (no walks lasting longer than 10 min) etc, because last week I had to go to hospital to get my BH stopped, and my cervix was shortening.
I'm off the contractions tablets now, just on progesterone. Havent had contractions that often since then, still have them but spaced out.

Today I had to run some errands so wasnt taking it easy as I'm supposed to. Should I worry?? I'm not having loads of contractions or anything, a bit of sciatic pain and pressure in my lower back thats all.

Hey!

Yes that sounds like a bit plug, but dont worry, this can happen weeks before you even begin to go into early labour!

Hope this helps! x

Havent had anymore come out, contractions continue to be very spaced out which is good..they are a bit more uncomfy, but not painful.
Last night I had a bit of discomfort down below and on my lower belly...but other than that everything is ok.

Made an appointment with my private obgyn for tomorrow morning to let her know about everything, so far, since everything has happened, I have only been seeing the one from the public hospital as it is A LOT closer and I already had an appointment with her last week.
Hopefully she'll say everything is ok, and every one around me will relax.

I havent been THAT worried, but everyone else seem to be freaking out, with is stressing my out so much! And with my hormones all over the place as they are, it doesnt exactly help.

Take it easy until you see your doc tomorrow , especially as you have had premmy labour symptoms

Saw my other Dr today.. told me pretty much the same thing as the other one. Rest, fluids and progesterone. Was monitored for about 20 mins and had I had no contractions which is great!
She told me I will be able to stop taking progesterone in week 35! So I'm hoping that means I will be able to go back to my normal life then cuz going from the bed to the couch and to the couch to the toilet all day is driving me CRAZY! And its only been about a week.
Not to mention that there is still SOO MUCH to do before baby arrives, and now DH has to do it all on his cleaning, get things ready, work... feel so bad for him.

I lost my mucous plug with my daughter when I was about 38 weeks for memory with no blood and I didn't end up having her until 40+1 and by then it had replenished itself a bit so I lost it again whilst in labour. Don't stress about it too much, my mum lost hers the morning she gave birth for all 3 but it was more of a bloody show

Yes sounds like your plug. Your plug does not need to be bloody, that would refer to a bloody show and many mamas do not have that. I had a bloody show only with ds1 and then ds2 and this baby are both normal plugs.
