Hey, mine contained mucous and blood and came away after my second sweep, but I did have this type of jelly like discharge beforehand from 32 weeks pregnant and midwife said it could well be the mucus plug, however it can reform before labour! How many weeks are you?

Mine was the consistency (and yellowy green colour 🤮) of snot, and came away in one glorious lump with my first.
No idea what happened the second time, it just never appeared.

Sounds like things are moving along. Hoping things go smoothly and quickly 😊

I had thick slightly orange tinted 'snot' 3 days before giving birth. The day before I gave birth, it became bloodstained. This was at 38 weeks with second child.

I wouldn’t think so. Mucus plugs are a bit more plug like snd blood tinged. That looks like discharge

Lo12345 · 04/01/2022 22:34

Not sure what it is then but I’ve never had discharge like this ever! And I’m having bad backache with it to it happens each time I go the toilet I’m seeing my midwife tomorrow and having my c section week tomorrow so hopefully he will wait for then as I have so much to still sort out
Thank you for all the replies 🙂x
