What would you say this is? (Sorry TMI pic)

What would you say this is? I'm 27+3.

Found this when I went to loo about 20 mins ago

I'm also 27 weeks and I had similar two weeks ago, not as much maybe but similar colour and consistency. I was on the watch but I didn't have any problems afterwards. Obviously it looks like mucous plug but I think it can be replaced? If you're more sensible than me maybe worth a call to the midwife?

@costacoffeecup that's what I thought but wanted a second opinion.

I've got a growth scan this afternoon (pre arranged ) so will mention then. I've not got or anything contractions but do feel like a really need to pee all the time

Show the pictures to a midwife or another professional at your scan appt this aft.

I'm sure you'll get reassurance.

@OhhEnnEmm Extremely unhelpful. Take your unfunny jokes elsewhere.

I don't know what it is but I had it when pregnant. Only thing I can say is my ds was born at 33.3 weeks. I think it maybe it's the mucus plug that stop bacteria getting to the baby which can come away and reform again ( if I remember correctly) x

It does look like mucus plug. Sometimes its streaked with blood, sometimes not. Doesn't necessarily mean you will go until labour soon.

Let us know what they say, would be interested in case I get it again! Sure it won't be anything to worry about though.

It’s your mucus plug. Don’t worry, you’re continuously making more. You only need to worry if it’s your waters or blood or you’re having contractions.

@costacoffeecup all good with the scan ❤️

Also spoke with midwife who said that it didn't sound like anything to worry about just now. But just to monitor, if I start to get pain or bleeding to call back.

She also said always best to call and double check anything that is 'different ' most likely nothing to be worried about but it's better to call than leave it.

Excellent news xx

Good news on scan! I've got one next week as I had hypertension last pregnancy so getting the extra ones, which is reassuring.

Thought I would stop by and update.

I think this was part of my plug. I went into labour a few weeks later. DD was born at 33 +6. Short stay in the NiCu but home now

Massive congratulations to you and I'm glad all is well and you and baby are all home safe

Congratulations! My ds was born at 33.3! Was ur wee one ok? X

@loveskaka few problems with blood sugars, jaundice and keeping warm. Doing ok now slow but steady at progress with weight gain is goal.

How is your little one?

As long as he's ok, yeah my wee ones 13months! He's well and truly caught up! Starts walking at 8month etc. He was in for 4weeks he needed oxygen for 4weeks as his levels kept dropping.
