TMI *Pic Warning* - Mucus Plug?

4 replies

Hi ladies, for the past two days, after I've been awake for a couple of hours and I've gone to the bathroom, I've been presented with this. Pic 1 is today (much more) and pic 2 is yesterday.

Is this just normal discharge or could this be the mucus plug? Or anything to worry about?

I'm 38+1.

Thank you for any advice ❤️

I had this at 38 weeks too, I assumed it was a bit of my plug but nothing happened until 39+3 when the same happened again but was streaked with a lot of old brown blood. DS arrived within 48 hours after that.

Ah, that's good news then. Thank you. I'm completely clueless with it being my first. I'm just waiting for the most obvious sign of my waters breaking. Lol.

Even if it is your mucus plug, it isn't a sign of labour. It's only if it's bloody that it's a sign that labour may be imminent.

Thank you, @Bambamber. That's helpful to know x
