Plug

Do you always bleed when you lose your mucos (sp?) plug? When is the average time to lose it or is everyone different? Also do you have to lose your plug before you start dialating?

*Watching* 
I'm wondering the sme thing!!
GOOD question! =) 

i didn't bleed when I lost the mucous plug. they say labor will come within two weeks of your losing it.I'm not sure about the last question but i know dilation would certainly make itfall out if it hadn't already. hope that helps

i didnt bleed when i lost mine first time round at all and i was already in labor when i lost it

2nd time round i dont recall loosing it at all.
when i was induced i was already 3cm dilated and all they had to do was break my water..
Everyone is different

I believe that I have been slowly losing mine over this past week and there has been no blood with it so far. I am 2 cm dialated and 60 percent effaced and I just have small bits of mucus (sorry tmi) every now and then after I use the bathroom.

1. I didn't bleed at all.
2. I lost mine at 36 weeks-but I have heard people say they lost it before & after.
3. I didn't start dialating until I was just about 39 weeks--but we had already scheduled my induction.

1st baby- I lost all of mine at one time. No blood. Just pinkish tinged.
2nd baby- Mine came out in little pieces. Had no idea when all of it came out.

I do believe that you can dilate w/out it coming out. I was dilated for a month w/ my first baby before I lost my plug. Most people lose theirs and then it's awhile before the baby comes. Everyone is different so it is hard to say.

Yay, my doctor is checking me thursday to see if I am dialated at all... I doubt I am, and didn't think it would even be possible because I dont think i've lost my plug and i'm only going to be 35w 2d

you can slowly lose your plug, it will turn into goopy white discharge that looks kinda like snot. I was having alot of that stuff and I though I had an infection, but my Dr just told me I was slowly losing my plug   yay!
