Mucus plug

This is my second pregnancy, and you’d think someone who’s been pregnant before wouldn’t have to ask some questions 🤔 but I’m 37.1 weeks and I’ve been losing my mucus plug since 35 weeks. Not really a huge deal because it regenerates. And it’s been pretty clear or whatever. But this morning when I wiped, it was a lot darker and looked sort of like there was blood in it. But it was maybe the size of my pinky. I’m already dilating and effacing and my Braxton Hicks contractions seem to be picking up in intensity. The only thing I know to be on the lookout for is my water breaking or consistent contractions. But if my mucus plug is starting to get blood tinged, would you say that’s a pretty good sign that things are moving forward if it stays blood tinged? I remember in my last pregnancy mentioning to my OB that I was losing pieces that were blood tinged and he would tell me that I was probably going to have my baby soon. I went into labor with my first at 38.6 weeks so I know my body knows how to do it without being induced.

Oh the joys of pregnancy 😂
