Mucus Plug ?

Question

I'm 39w pregnant and I've been experiencing what I believe are contractions and my stomach keeps on getting hard , and when I go use the bathroom I keep on seeing this ? I'm I loosing my mucus plug bits by bit? And I also have GBS so I was wondering do I wait until I loose my whole plug to get checked out to start on antibiotics or do I wait until water breaks and all ?? I'm all new to this and thank god I have an appointment tomorrow.

Answer

I would call your provider or L&D immediately. Especially with the need to do antibiotics for GBS. They can recommend further if you should come in to be monitored or not.
  
My OB told me things like that should not wait til "my appt tomorrow."
  
Good luck!!

Answer

You can lose your mucus plug at any point past 35ish weeks and it doesn't mean anything. It's really not a big deal and doesn't indicate much. You could lose it early and another one could form again before you actually go into labor! 🤷🏻‍♀️ monitor your vaginal fluid and time your contractions. 
There are free 24/7 nurse lines in America (check your insurance card for the number) and talk to one of them if you're concerned.
