Where are you finding your mucus plugs?

Keep seeing posts about mucus plugs just wondering are these coming out in underwear/toilet/toilet paper? Are these easy to spot/miss? Thanks!!

It depends, it can come out whole or partially and also regenerate. Mine was coming out in pieces and sometimes was kinda hard to tell

I’ve been having loads of discharge the last few weeks but think that’s all it is, wondering if I should be looking more closely now I’m at the thin edge of the wedge, 35 weeks today!

I’m 39 weeks tomorrow and I haven’t lost mine..as I’m aware of. Started to think maybe I’ve missed it or I just haven’t lost it yet😊

Exactly as you said, you can find it in underwear, toilet, toilet paper. It usually has a reddish/pinkish tinge to it. I’ve lost mine in early labour.

I’ve had 2 babies and no sign of a mucus plug for either of them… contractions were the biggest indicator of labour for me

Mine was after I went to the bathroom and was wiping with toilet paper but everyone is different

Mine was on toilet paper after I wiped. It was quite easy to tell as looked different to my normal discharge.

Mine didn’t come out until I was in labor and it was only part of it. It ‘came out’ after I was soaking in the tub through some contractions and then went to the toilet after and wiped
