Another Mucus Plug Question

I am just over 38 weeks just wondered if I have actually had a show of just a major increase in discharge ( apologies for TMI)

Have had two episodes where I have felt something run out of me and after going to toilets there have been rather large deposits of slime and pants - not blood stained though. Last one being ten minutes ago.

Have been having lots of BH and low cramps for a while now. It is all so differnt from when I had ds, waters just went in middle of night and then contractions straight away - none of these sort of symptoms which are driving me crazy.

Anyway thanks for reading

I had this (pleasant isn't it?! ) towards the end of my second pregnancy, midwife said it was the plug starting to come away along with an increase in discharge which is totally normal for this stage. I went 6 days overdue.

sounds like a plug to me. and with braxton hicks etc as well, you're prob not long now - esp as its 2nd preg.
get walking and eating pineapple, drinking raspberry leaf all that stuff, and im sure you'll get things moving!
