I really try to not post way TMI stuff, but it's not like I can discuss this with my co-workers! So...
(1) how did you know you had lost your mucus plug?
(2) what did it look like?
(3) how long was it from when you lost it until you went into labor?
(4) based on the description below, does this sound like I lost all/part of mine or is this a random pregnancy thing?

Two nights ago, DH and I did the deed a little bit before I went to sleep. I always go to the restroom right after, so nothing should have been hanging around still, During one of my nightly trips to the bathroom, I wiped and the tissue was full of goop. It looked sort of like egg white cervical mucus, except it was a little more white than EWCM normally is and there was a lot of it. For a few days before and after that, I had little bits of what I would describe as something like EWCM or what is in a tissue after you blow your nose, but there hasn't been much of it except that one time. It has mostly been clear in color, with no pink or red tint. I haven't had tons of discharge during my pregnancy, so this isn't typical of me. I have been having more contractions than normal (but not to the point where I have to all my OB), but I have no idea if my cervix is dialated because my OB doesn't do cervical checks this early.

So very sorry for the very TMI post, but anyone's thoughts are appreciated!
