Mucus plug shedding and Butt hole feels so much pressure.

I think my mucus plug has started to shed. This is my 2nd and I don’t remember this happening. I don’t think I have anything to worry about, has anyone else experienced this? One thing I am slightly worried about is the pressure I feel in my butt hole. This is something remember in my 1st was a sign I was close to going into labor. Would much rather my baby cook a little longer than come this early. I am 36 weeks on Wednesday. I have a prenatal appointment tomorrow so will get things checked. Anyone else experiencing similar things? Have you looked into it more?

I’ve shed my mucous plug on and off for several weeks. Started having that pressure last week with some cramping and spotting but they checked me and I wasn’t dilated or having regular contractions so he just told me to monitor it and if the bleeding got worse or the contractions became regular to call him. I learned early on that your Mucous plug can regenerate snd it can Also completely come out up To a month before you go into labor you just have to monitor for gushes of fluid if you think you lost most of it or it comes with spotting.

I’ve been having a lot of pressure on my cervix (not quite butthole) and I got checked and my cervix was closed and high. Try not to worry too much, 36 weeks is very close to 37 which is fully formed 🩷 keep us posted!

I’ve had quite a bit of vaginal & rectal pressure alongside losing my mucus plug over the course of the last week. Will be asking my OB about it Friday!

All super helpful! Thank you!
