Quoting chi_moma:Just sounds like part of your mucous plug. Some women lose it really early, some don't lose it at all. I wouldn't use it to determine when your baby will come tho! All my babies were premature and I lost my plug (or parts of it) 4-6 weeeks before birth
Oh Ok sorry I misunderstood lol Since this is your second baby, dilating a fingertip isn't really a big deal. After you have a baby your cervix never fully closes so a fingertip just means it's loosening up a bit and getting ready.
Quoting magenta_purdy:
I knew it was... I guess what I am wondering is with the mucous and the fact I am effacing and starting to dilate already if it sounds like she will come early

No way of telling. Some women walk around dilated for weeks. It is not a good indication of when baby will come. Like you said mucus plug will regrow.
With my third I had everything under the sun going on for 5-8 weeks. She was my first one that went past her estimated due date. I was never checked or dilation's. But I know around 5-6 weeks it started. I had those lovely pains in that area. Losing mucus plug and some with blood on it. But really no reason to check.
So yes there is no way of really know when baby will come.
mid week check in 5/22
How many weeks are you?
