and it just hasn't ever stoped coming out! I feel like it is never going to end. I thought it was just some but seriously I have big clumps come out everyday. Anyone else experiance this or know about it? I look on google but I don't really know what to ask so I figure you moms should know some things thank you. I just have so many questions!
I am a midwife. What you are experiencing is completely normal. Also, the mucus plug will regenerate itself within 24 hours.

you may just have a lot of discharge too, which is completely normal when you are pregnant. I was that way with both of my pregnancies, especially towards the end. Congrats!
Yep...if you lose itlike 4 weeks or more before you go into labor, it keeps replenishing itself. That's my doc told me. :( It sucks cause I started losing mine at 31 weeks and I thought that it was a sign labor was coming. I was so wrong LOL... I was induced at 38 weeks though for pre-eclampsia.
34-36 weeks with all 3 pregnancies....followed by bedrest until 38 weeks.
One time event for me, with just a little bit of spotting & lots of cramping.... & that's it.
Yes it is very common. I have seen woman claim it is a sign you are going into labor but I don't think it is. When I had my kids I asked all of my OB's (3 different Dr's) they all looked me like I was crazy and said it rebuilds itself and it was not a sign of labor. With my kids at about 30 - 35 weeks it started. It's gross but it is normal.
If it is your first child then that is common. You can lose your plug one month before you deliver. Mine shed little by little until I went into labor.
