    I am 26 weeks and think i may have lost my mucus plug. Has anyone else lost their but not gone into labor? It was like a gel consistancy it was clear with two ity bity brown spots. I'm not gonna freak out too bad unless i start cramping. Anyone else have this happen?

    I lost mine just a few days before I went into labour. I would probably mention it to your OB though so they can check it out.

    Mucas plugs can mean everything and they can mean nothing. I'd call your OB just to be sure.

    I would definitely call your OB to check in, but as Stephanie said it could mean something or it could mean nothing at all. Some women lose their mucous plug than another one forms & then they lose that one, etc, for weeks before actually going into labour. It would be more concerning if the mucous had blood in it or was pink tinged/streaked (bloody show) - that's more likely to indicate labour's on its way.

    Like the girls said I would call your OB. With the twins I starting loosing mine around 30 weeks, and I went to 37 weeks. Mucus plugs can also regenerate.

    I ended up calling the doctors office. They just told me to rest more and no sex or any other pelvic activity like orgasims. She also said to drink more water. So now my mother in law has my son. she lives with us luckily and even though she is handi capped she can watch him for a few hours here and there so i can have a break and rest. So thats what im gonna do. She said if i start having contractions and there are 5-6 in an hour to go to the hospital
