Is this my mucus plug? (tmi)

Hi everyone :) i'm 38.4 and today i've had some different discharge to normal and i'm wondering if this is my mucus plug.

I've been having increased discharge anyway, but this evening whilst i was sat on the sofa i suddenly felt something in my knickers. Went to the bathroom to check and there was a blob of discharge (clear, didnt smell) and it looked a bit like snot. It wasn't massive, but not a small blog either.

Do you think this could be my mucus plug starting to come away? I thought i should be seeing it tinged with pink blood. Please post your experiences. Sorry for TMI, this is my first pregnancy and not really sure what to expect.

Suze :)

Hiya. I didn't lose my mucus plug until I was well into labour with all of mine but I've had to be induced every time so possibly a different process. However, when I lost the plug it looked like a handful of jelly like snotty stuff, a bit bloody but not very. Sounds like it to me how exciting!

yes probably but don't get I've excited... labor doesn't always happen right after, mine was with in a couple days though.

Sounds like the plug to me. A chunk of mine came away at 38 weeks, the rest 4 days later, then next day DD arrived :)
