Answer
Hi Jason-

Im sorry for the delay! Maybe you already have babies!! We had a little family emergancy and I forgot to put myself on vacation.

The light green discharge is just a mucal plug, and shouldn't last much more then a day, and just a bit when she actually passes the plug. Usually 24-36 hours after the plug is when they give birth, but it can depend. The best bet is to watch for temperature drop and other signs of pre-labor. The dark green discharge is usually the case for heavy stage 2 labor :)

Good luck with your new babies!!
