Question for those who have been pregnant-Updated

I lost mine about 12 hours before I gave birth to Emma - believe me, it was really yucky lol. When I was pregnant with Sierra, I started losing it weeks before I gave birth to her. This site gives a good description of it, since it is probably too graphic to post here. Good luck!

You'll generally find chunks of it. It kind of looks like a big thick lump of bloody mucus. Losing it doesn't always mean anything because it can regenerate itself

Yea, ummm, you really can't miss it, lol. It is the single most grossest thing I have ever seen, or pretty close to it.

And as Missy said, if you lose it early, it does regenerate itself and come back. I lost mine and had Lydia within a day.

It's called a "mucus plug" and like everyone said here, when you lose it you'll definitely know it.

Well the doctor said I definately lost it. (I was pretty sure anyways) The little miss has dropped and doc says he is estimating probably about another three weeks before he will let it go. She apparently still in what is called the wet lung stage. Her heartrate is 140 and she measuring in at 36 weeks instead of 34.
