37 weeks pregnant, went to the doctor yesterday and when she was doing the cultures, when she pulled out that?

Question

long stick she puts in you she said "OH that was messy, I pulled out some mucus with me there" ...does that mean my mucus plug came out or does mucus just randomly come out like that ..i was confused when she said that..PLEASE help me :) thank you

Answer 1

Mine came out in bits every night from 33 weeks until labor.  It regenerates if you don't go into labor within a few hours.  When you lose it while in labor, there is ALOT of it and it can be tinged with blood.  

Answer 2

it just randomly comes out like that. Around this time you will notice more discharge because your mucas plug will start to come out gradually.  

Answer 3

Not uncommen to have more mucus as you near your due date.  She prob meant nothing by it, just saying it was messy thats all.  Congratulations!!!!  :)

Answer 4

The fact that she pulled out SOME Mucus kind of says to me that it was just icky but she could have taken a piece of your plug. I know that my plug isn't falling out in one big junk but is in little pieces so far.
