mucous plug question

Is it possible to slowly lose your mucous plug over a period of weeks? I've had a mucous-y discharge (sorry for the TMI) for the past couple weeks. Is that just normal third tri discharge, or mucous plug, or could it be something more serious, like an infection? I'm probably reading into it too much... just wondering if anyone has any input..TIA!

I've had a general increase in clear, viscous discharge during the last two months.  I've also lost my MP in little "chunks" that look like someone used my underwear as a kleenex.

Side note: Every time I open a MP post, I'm afraid there will be a picture. Indifferent So, thank you OP.

Yes, you can lose it in little bits, you can lose it, regrow it, and lose it again, or you could not lose it at all (or at least not notice). Fun, right?

Yes. Ick! I've seen more bodily fluids from posters than I'd like to recall.

You can definitely lose it slowly.

I have always lost mine little bits at a time over weeks. I started losing it this time a week and half ago. I only see it when I wipe after i pee every few days, it just looks like snot instead of white-ish like normal discharge. I also have a history of dilating early, so I told the dr. at my appt last week (33/34 wks) and she checked my cervix and said I was 2cm. I had some more of it yesterday and today, so I'm curious to see if I'm dilated any more by my next appt on the 4th. I was like 5cm for 2 weeks with my 2nd baby before I ever went into labor.

I made the mistake of asking the googles about mucus plugs not long ago.  If anyone else is unthinking enough to do the same, I urge you to at least specify HUMAN mucus plugs.  And be really glad that we're not cows.  *shuddering*

I started losing mine over a period of weeks. Slowly but surely, I would see discharge whenever I'd wipe and would have to take a second glance every time I saw it! I figured it was the mucus plug. As long as it isn't blood tinged, you're good.

Thanks for your replies ladies. I actually called the nurse about it this morning to ease my mind before going into the weekend. She said "oh that's normal" (as long as there is no itching/burning).

Every time I present a symptom to them, it's always "Oh, that's normal!" Which I guess is a good thing!
