Today I went toilet and had green gooy stuff on my tissue then I had brown gooy stuff in my knickers abit later, I've been getting mild tightenings not regular and there not painful, I was wondering is this my mucus plug coming away?

How far gone are you?

Mine went a week before I went into labour, looked like a lump of translucent yellowish phlegm streaked with blood about the size of my thumb.

You might find more of the same stuff comes out over the next 24 hours or so. If you're unsure or worried, ring your midwife - whenever I've rung with a seemingly daft question or several, they've always reassured me and brought me in if they feel it's worth checking out.

Oh and good luck - wishing you a quick and easy birth Flowers
