losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
you can lose it in chunks right?
after losing your mucus plug how long after does labor kick in? i heard it could be days or even weeks?
how do you know if your leaking amniotic fluid?

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
don't know about the amniotic fluid, though I've heard it is sweet smelling.
With my DD I lost my mucous plug 5 days before I went into labor

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
It came out over the span of about 24 hours in chunks. Looked nasty, like big chunks of blood tinged snot

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
I lost mine when I went to the bathroom at work. I called my doctor right away and he sent me to L&D to get checked. I was 3 centimeters and contracting every 2-3 minutes. I was in labor and didn't know it. I had my c-section on the spot - I was scheduled for a few days later.
Just try to relax and call the doctor right away.

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
With DS I had a slow leak. I went to the bathroom and peed. I then sat on a white towel and it was wet. That had never happened before. I thought it smelled like straw. I never lost my mucus plug.

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
Had a slow leak for about a week prior... You can tell the difference in the scent, it is somewhat sweet but somewhat salt water scent as well... Mucus plug was lost all in one big clump then DC arrived next day

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
I lost my plug about 2 weeks before I delivered.
My water started to leak the night before I delivered....everytime I stood up I felt like I peed myself. Not just wet, but I would feel the actual sensation of peeing and felt like I had to pee every 3-5 minutes..no joke...btu only a few drops came out. It was my sac not pee.

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
I didn't lose mine until I was already in labor. I think it's a pretty unreliable sign.

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
As for the leaking fluid - my doctor said to empty my bladder, then go lay down without underwear on for 30 minutes. If you get up and have wetness or a drip down your leg, then you're leaking amniotic fluid.
I dont know about the mucus plug, but I've heard after loosing it, you could go into labor anywhere from 12 hours to 2 weeks later.

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
My water broke at 12:35AM - I thought I just peed a little in my sleep but I sat on the toilet about 20 mins before it went from clear to pink and I realized what it must be (it never "gushed" and I didn't notice any particular scent) ... then I noticed a very small pink, snotty puddle on the floor outside the bathroom ... not exactly what I expected for losing my mucous plug ... delivered Ann less than fifteen hours later (I was put on pitocin as soon as I got to the hospital since they were not going to let me labor on my own once my water had broken).

Re: losing your mucus plug and leaking amniotic fluid
i lost my plug in 2 chunks. i think over a 24 hour span. i went to the dr, i wasn't even dilated. i was so surprised, 2 days later my water broke (and there's no mistaking that for anything but water.. well mine came out a lot) and i had my baby boy that night
