answer:It seems you are maaaybe a couple of centimeters dilated, but, there is a mucus plug that will not be discharged until later in the dilating process. I had a yeast infection at the end of my pregnancy and was inserting Monostat creme when my water broke! I was a week early, and wondered if the monostat insertions did something. The docs said unlikely. Sounds like you’re well on your way to labor! How exciting!
