Question 1

is it possible to lose small parts of your mucus plug? i have small booger type discharge in my underwear! (gross!)

Accepted Answer

Yes: I assume u are neat term, it can come out all at once or over a number of weeks , both cases are normal and u will notice more once your OB starts  cervical exams usually at 37 wks, ideal time to deliver is 39-40 weeks - best outcome for the baby so do not go past your due date I do not allow any of my pts to go past and none of mine want to , induction is safe and easy at term and my pts want it.

Question 3

Lots of stuff: It is from bodily fluids and particles that the nose has accumulated just from breathing.

Question 4

what causes bloody boogers?

Accepted Answer

Nose bleed: The obvious answer is a nose bleed.  The nose is pretty complex, though.  The lining tissues if the nose and sinuses is called mucosa.  This tissue is really quite thin and can dry out, crack and bleed slightly.  The sinuses can also bleed, which can cause bloody nasal secretions or boogers.  Trauma to the nose, big or small can do it too.  Hope this helps.

Question 7

can a child get some disease from eating his boogers?

Accepted Answer

No: As unpleasant of a habit as it may be, eating 'boogers' should not cause an illness. The nose is directly connected in the back with the mouth and throat, so every time he sniffs, some material moves from the nose to the mouth, then the stomach. As such, it is the same result, just without the involvement of fingers!
