Hi!
I'm sorry for the tmi but I was starting to get curious! I'm 38+4 and twice now I have found what looks like snot in my knickers! It looks different to my normal discharge that I usually have. It's only been a tiny bit so far but is this the plug starting to come away? Will I go in to labour soon?
Sorry for the grimness!
Cheers!

Yes, it could be and yes, you might. On the other hand, could be a couple of weeks yet. Sorry!

What colour is it? I get like ovulation type goo that is clear or white. Mucus plug is more like browny red and there's usually a fair amount of it.

You don't need to be sorry :) it's all natural! Well that could be it, they can be clear as well. Get bouncing on on an exercise ball or out for a long walk! Hopefully won't be too much longer for you.

I lost mine about three weeks before DD came and my labour was started by ARM!

Sorry - sit tight. Baby will come when he/she is ready.

I had a show 10 days ago...
Nearly every day since I've passed more.
I'm 40+4 today.

With my last pregnancy i had a show at 12.30 & the baby was born at 7.10!
