Mucus plug 🤷🏻♀️
Almost 39 weeks I think I’m starting to lose pieces of my mucus plug but I know it can also regenerate so I’m trying not to even get excited but I’m having LOTS of cramping and today I even had nausea I almost threw up but drank some water and was able to avoid it. My body also just feels super achy especially my legs. I have shooting pains in my back I got my hips adjusted yesterday by my chiropractor so I’m hopeful labor is near especially since this weekend is my drs on call weekend and I really don’t want a different doctor 😭 she warned me it could end in another C-section if I don’t have her.

@Heather no I haven’t I’ve barely lost a pinky fingertip of it and still don’t have contractions regularly. My OB told me to come in if my contractions are 5 minutes apart for more than an hour or immediately if my water breaks I wasn’t even dilated 1cm yesterday
Definitely watch the cramps then. You may or may not lose the rest of the plug this time. I lost it with my last two, but only lost a little this time. The cramps getting close together was the biggest indicator.

While a mucus plug can regenerate, it's unlikely to do that at this point. When I developed cramps after losing mine I didn't realize labor was already starting. Did you let your ob or midwife know?
