What does it look like when you loose your mucas plug? I have had very thick while mucas in my underwear but I thought that the plug was kind of redish in colour? ↓

Sounds like it! A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink or blood tinged in color. It may be stringy mucus or sticky discharge. How far along are you?
Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and your body is starting to prepare for birth. ↑

You can still be a little ways off from labor but I would call and let your ob know you lost your plug she/he might want to check you out since you are 35weeks, and if you are ready they may want to give you a shot for the babies lungs and/or put you on bedrest if they want to keep the baby in a little longer :) GOOD LUCK!!! Its close!! ↑

i wasnt to sure about my mucus plug either but i had my antinatal class yesterday i only have 1 week and 5 days of my pregnancy left (hopefully) well the way they discribed it was basically as a bogey i no it sounds gross but i have mine and it just fits the description exactly but the colour is basically what lori says hope this helps x ↑
