Hi I'm 26 weeks pregnant. Just been to the toilet and noticed it was wetter than usual down there. It was a clear white thick jelly like discharge which I've never had before. Not lots but maybe a tea spoon or two? Worrying a bit now. Any ideas what this means?

Could just be part of your mucus plug coming away - if that happens it regrows. I had that pretty early on with my first pregnancy it was almost like clear ish snot (sorry if that's TMI). If there's any blood / cramping with it then you need to get checked or if you have concerns you can always call labour line or similar.

Are you feeling ok in yourself?

@TrixieFranklin thanks for the reply.
I feel fine in myself and no bleeding or cramps or anything. I'm on holiday at the moment which is just making me worry more! Bad timing.
I'm hoping it's not a sign of anything.

Lots of weird and wonderful discharge is normal in pregnancy. Generally as long as it's white/clear and odourless it shouldn't be a problem

This is totally normal, OP.

Discharge gets heavier and heavier as pregnancy goes on. I even got more ear wax and so much mucus in my nose I thought I had a cold at the bitter end. No, just the joy of pregnancy!
