TMI (with photos) but this is freaking me out

[Laura199214]

Hi everyone I apologise in advice for been TMI

I'm 7 weeks postpartum and this last week I've been having extreme loss of what I can only describe as what looks like my mucus plug.
Every time I wipe there is something there, sometimes its just a little bit but last 3 days it's been so much and it's so thick.

I've tried getting into the doctors but they are reall playing me about even though they know I'm due for my 6 to 8 week check up anyway and I'm starting to get more worried the thicker and more frequent it's becoming

Are you feeling well? Any temperature? I would worry about post partum infection and I think you should seek medical attention quickly, don't wait for the GP. How about ringing the hospital where you gave birth for advice?

You need to be seen, do you have a temp?

I feel fine. No temperature and apart from been tierd because my baby doesn't sleep 🤣 I feel good in every other way. There is no smell to it and I did ring the hospital and all they said was go to my GP
(I should mention I had an emergency c-section not a vaginal birth)

I had something similar to this after my cs. I had some sort of blood clot that would not come out. It wasn’t an infection. In the end I took a course of tablets to induce a period that flushed out my uterus.

@Haggisfish3 was it serious? And was there any other symptoms apart from the mucus?

No it was really weird. I sort of bled tiny amounts but no infection at all. An odd very yellow, almost mucus discharge at times. Eventually I paid for a private ultrasound that revealed some ‘fluid’ in my uterus. I then went back to go and requested a course of noresthisterone to induce a period and clear it out as it were.

I had similar after my c section.
Went to Dr who did swabs but all came back normal. They gave no explanation for it. Eventually it stopped.

Hello I just had my baby 1 month ago and went to the restroom today and wiped and saw this exactly I’m freaking out did you get any answers?

I have the exact same thing and I’m also 7 weeks postpartum, it literally looks like a piece of raw chicken almost or mucus plug

Did they say if it clears up on its own?

Sorry I'm just seeing this.
It cleared up on its own. Still have no idea what it was

i just had this happen once it was a decent sized glob and looked like a mucus plug, i'm currently 10 weeks post emergency c section and i started to freak out until i seen this thread of everyone saying it eventually cleared up on its own, im the same was, no fever, nothing, just happened once out of nowhere and it was a brownish color

I have mucus but little less sticky .but have. Pelvic pain .doc first check through all the ultrasound said you have infection she gave me medication but again send me to ultrasound but they didn't tell me i have which infection

9weeks PP passed what looked exactly like my mucous plug when that came out! Except it had more brown tinge through it. Also had a csection 9weeks ago and a period at 5weeks PP. So its really random to have some huge mucous plug come out at this stage, did
