yes, it's the same thing. It look slike a huge piece of mucous sometimes tinged with blood. Sometimes in come sout in small clusters, sometimes all at once, sometimes not at all.

Thanks... that's part I was really wondering about - whether or not everyone loses it.

Did you lose yours?!!! Labor should start soon!!! Anywhere from 24 hrs- 1 week on average. But much sooner than later. It is gthe cork that keeps cervix closed.

The cork, huh? Cool.

Hmmm... I don't think I lost mine, no. I thought maybe I did because I saw a tiny tinge of pink yesterday and today but no giant ball of mucous, no. Ugh.... pregnancy can be so gross! Sorry for the TMI!!

Maybe it is just the beginning of the plug becoming 'undone', I lost mine all at once with my first born, it was scary, it was a big glob, GROSS! That was Thurs night, I had her on Tues night. With my 2nd it came out slowly, sh ewas born about 2 weeks later. Look slike you are starting the labor process, but slowly!! Good luck I'm so jealous, I have anohter 8-9 weeks.

I started losing my plug on a Sunday and went into labor early Tuesday morning.

I lost mine all at once around 2PM and my water broke around 3:30PM - baby was born at 11PM.

I lost my mucus plug and about a 1/2 hour later, the contractions started.

Thanks girls...

Well... I had some more spotting today accompanied by more contractions and back pain... so maybe this IS a sign that labor will be starting soon!

I'm trying really hard not to get my hopes up though.
