Mucus plug question

| Does a pregnant woman always know when she loses her mucus plug? I feel like I'm going to go into labor soon, but no sign of mucus plug departing. I'm obviously a first timer & hoping some more experienced moms can help me out with this question! Thanks! |

| You do not have to lose your mucus plug to go into labor. If you lose it and your are looking for it every time you use the bathroom you will definitely see it -- at least it was very obvious to me -- big block of mucus tinged with a little bit of blood. However, if you get up several times during the night to pee and don't turn on the light, then you might miss it. |

| I never saw mine--no idea when in the progression of things I lost it. |

| I didn't start losing mine until I had already been in labor 20 hours. |
