I had my weekly appt today and I am 1 cm. Even though I know it could still be weeks before I go into labor at least I have 1 cm less to go . lol Hopefully Ill be 3 by next week. Wishful thinking.
Im a little confused because I have not even seen anything that looks like a mucus plug come out of me yet im 1cm. Where did it go?

I've heard that sometimes it comes out slowly so you don't even notice it.

I have never seen a MP...and this is my third. LOL Good luck and I hope it's not long now.

Yep, or it could be clear and just look like regular discharge, or you could not lose it until you're more dilated... I didn't start losing pieces of it until I was 3-4cm

I lost my MP with my first, but I don't recall losing it with my 2nd (and I was dilated more and earlier with my second). But

for being at least 1 cm dilated! At least you know your body is getting started!!!

First of all, YAY for 1 cm! It feels good to know you have that much less to "do" when you go into labor, doesn't it?

I started losing my MP a few days after my first internal (I was 2 cm) and continued losing it throughout the week. I saw my last piece the day after my second internal (3 cm).

I've heard some women say they never lost it at all, or lost it during active labor.

But even if you never see it, you've still made good progress!

That is too funny. I have never thought of it that way but you are right it is 1 less cm you have to get to! LOL!
