A member asked:

I am 35 weeks and 2 days pregnant and think i past my mucus plug but how can i be sure? it was little big than a nickel of yellow jelly looking mucus

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Call your OB: They'll have you come in to check the plug.....I sort of doubt you've lost the plug from what you're describing....but no way to know for sure without a vaginal examination.

Dr Rhoads and another doctor agreed
