Question about the mucus plug?

Question

is it ok to get mild cramps while loosing your mucus plug? i've been loosing it for 3 days now, but i also get cramps somtimes in the mornings. then they go away and come back at night or in the afternoon.. then they go away again. the cramps only started happening from the first day i started losing the plug. i'm 36 weeks and 3 days, second baby

Answer 1

I'm 36weeks & 4days with #2 :)  

I have noticed what I beleive is my mucus plug for the last 4 days also.  And thats when the cramps started :(  I was told that you lose your mucus plug as your cervix ripens & opens.  Soooo, I guess it's a good sign!  Miserable...but Good!  LOL  

I never noticed it with my first either.  I didn't even know what a mucus plug was then!  I was very lost...so to me, this 2nd pregnancy is like a whole new experience.  

Good Luck!!!!

Answer 2

when i lost mine i started having the cramps for 2 weeks after...and still getting them....and lately they have become more frequent..like their not going away at all....keep an eye on them though if they keep coming closer and closer together
