How do I know if I've lost my mucous plug??
I went to the Dr. recently and she told me I am 1.5 cm dilated and that she was able to feel the baby's head. I read online about losing the mucous plug, and some sites say that you can be dilated and still have not lost your mucous plug.
So I'm just curious as to how I would know if I have already lost it or if its possible that I haven't lost it yet.
I was kind of thinking that if she was able to feel the baby's head then i probably lost it. but what do I know..this is my first child so bear with the stupid questions.. hehe.
Thanks in advance!

I didnt lose mine, and if i did then i didnt notice. I had to be induced, because my daughter was late and wasnt showing any signs of coming. So maybe i didnt lose it at all.
There are absolutely no stupid questions when it comes to pregnancy and birth. Im 7 weeks pregnant with my second and still have stupid questions!!!
Good luck!!

I have had two kids and was questioning all the time if i lost mine. Truth is YOU WILL KNOW! It will be a glob, either in your panties or you will hear it fall in the toliet. It is usually a clear to yellow color. Good Luck and congrats!!!

Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and your body is starting to prepare for birth. Labor could be hours, days, or even weeks away as the cervix gradually opens over time.
All I can say is there's no stupid question when it comes to childbirth. Children should really come with a handbook. Good luck and enjoy the new little one.
