Mucous Plug?

I think I may have lost a small piece of my mucous plug...but I'm not sure! When I went to the bathroom earlier I noticed a small clump of something white in my undies. So of course I had to investigate. I rubbed it between my fingers and the white stuff came off but there was still a clump of something clearish-yellow (best way to describe the color is it looked kinda like a booger!) It was a little stretchy and felt like rubber cement that had dried.

It's hard to compare it to my previous pregnancy. When I lost it with DS it was just a clump of it in the toilet after I peed so I couldn't really tell the color/consistency of it too well.

I'm trying not to get 'too' excited. It may not be the plug, it may be. I have no idea. Even if it is that doesn't mean I'll go into labor before my csection date. Not really an indicator of anything.

Guess we'll see.

This may be gross, but here's a link to an mucous plug photo. I don't know if this is what you saw or not. It kind of looks like a slug. yuck!

Not quite. The MP I lost with DS kinda looked like that but without the blood (or dark spot-idk what it was)

What I saw was much smaller-so obviously just a small chunk of the plug (if thats what it was) and it wasn't so, slimy looking. ick!
