Seriously no one ever responds in this forum.... :cry:

Hello. I'm new here and I just thought i'd respond to your question. I'm 32 weeks pregnant, and as your pregnancy progresses, it gets more mucusy and runny and all that stuff. I've had an experience the other night where I thought I might have lost mine, there was no blood though so it probably wasn't the actual plug. I'm guessing that it's probably not, unless it's a great amount or has blood with it. I don't know for sure though. This is my first baby, so everything's new to me. =)

Congrats do you know what you are having? I am having a boy although they were not 100% sure.

when did you find out what you are having? I'm 3 months pregnant and think i'm gonna wait to the 5th month t ofind out!

I am now 38 weeks pregnant and always looking out for that darn plug, I can't wait till this is all over, as I am in the fed up stage, but yup the plug is supposed to be bloddy so as you experience a lot of discharge you will find yourself looking for that plug and wondering if it will come or not.

I had my chance to find out what the sex of my baby was when I went for my 24 week scan...But I chose not to as I like surprises and I was mainly conserned about it's health more than anything, cuz at your 24 week scan that is called the >> abnormality scan, where you find out everything, and if your baby is in full health or not. I was scared at the time, she asked me if I wanted to know what the baby was...I said no straight away, then she smailed and said..."well you have one healthy baby nothing detected here" the scan took some time but it is known as the big one.....Good thing about that scan is the jelly used on your tummy was warm.....Unlike the jelly used on your normal scan freezing cold!!!!

I knew the sex of my baby at 12 weeks scan...It's easier to see when it's a boy :wink:
the plug question...I'm still waiting to see it but I now have daily contractions...Not so long to go now!!!

My plug on first kid came out around 3 weeks previos and it is like snotty slimy and blood tinged, not bleeding. Just blood in it. With second child it came out end of sept and I dint have her until dec 1, it came out in 2 or 3 different times in 2 or 3 days. Same blood tinged, slimy and mucusy. I did loose something 2 weeks before I had her like slimy green, and they said it was poop from the baby came out threw hole im my bag. I leaked water from my bag the whole last month. Strange huh?? Third child end of aug and dint have until oct 30. So I was not the norm.

I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow and I lost my mucus plug last week it was clear and kind of stringy and snotty looking

they told me and my husband at 13 weeks, but they said they were not sure. At my 20wk check they confirmed it. I was so scared b/c my husband had been buying things for a little boy after that first visit. And I was so sure they were going to be wrong and he would not be as happy about a little girl. Dont get me wrong he would have loved her, but he had already got his hopes up. So yeah at 12-wks and up they can tell the little boys

I was the same way as u with my first kid I also bleed doring my first pregancy

what type of scan did you get? I have gotten 3 ultrasounds at this point (i am 34 weeks) & although they tell me everything "looks great" they refuse to tell me that the baby is healthy. He looks healthy not he is healthy. They say there really is no true way of knowing.

I'm 38 weeks and yes I lost my mucus plug. It's just how all the articles explain. It's brownish in color and snotty in texture. It kind of freaked me out in the beginning until I remembered what I had read in one of pregnancy books and my girlfriend told me about it. I've had 2 other children and don't remember this happening before delivery, but I was quite young then. Now, I'm more aware of what's going on due to my age and education (I work in the medical field). Hope this helps.

i am 30 weeks and i lost my mucus plug. i recently read that some womens mucus plugs never have any blood in them that it comes out when you have an exam or during labor so you may have lost yours.
