Loose bowel movements and some discharge

I've had a bit of lower back pain both last night and today. I haven't thought much of it as I've suffered with it quite bad throughout my pregnancy. However, today I've had REALLY loose bowel movements..
I've also just been toilet and went to wipe..(TMI PIC IS ATTATCHED)
Could this be my mucus plug? I've heard loose bowel movements could be a sign of preterm labour?!? What do I do?!

Just looks like discharge to me tbh and loose bowel movements can happen the same as being constipated. How far along are you? If your worried you need to speak with your midwife and see what she advises x

I had this all the way through my plug looked different to that just a big jelly blob which was unmistakable but if your worried/in pain contact your midwife or unit x

Discharge is normal and often more frequent during pregnancy. I'm sure how many weeks you are, but I found during the first trimester I had really loose bowel movements. Took me by surprise as you hear more about constipation, but apparently it's totally normal. As the others said, if you're still worried ring your midwife.
