TMI - discharge or mucus plug?

Could this possibly be a bit of my mucus plug? I have been having an increase in discharge recently but it's been a milky watery substance, not like this. So was just wondering if it could be bits of my plug?

Currently 37+4💙
Thank You.

I think the plug is a bit darker than that. I'm 38+2 and have definitely had a bit more discharge in the past day or two, but I'm fairly certain no plug yet.

I think it looks like plug!
Discharge more liquid and milky.
Plug thicker, jelly like and more yellow tinged.
I'm so jealous. I'm 37+3 hope to get mine soon

@crazymuseummumtobe - thank you! I just know it can either come out on bits or come out in one big go with some blood tinge too it. My discharge has been milky, this is the first time it's happened and was like a jelly substance so I don't know! I hope it is x

@Engard thank you!! - I hope it is the start of my plug, discharge has definitely been more of a milky type but this was jelly like, not had anything like it before💗I've got a midwife appointment on Tuesday (38 weeks) and am hoping that she will do a sweep if I ask as have been having on and off cramps along with backache since being admitted onto the Labour Ward with really strong braxton hicks (I was 35+5), so hopefully the end is near!

Hope you get yours soon!! Thank you x

I've had this for a few weeks now. Increase in milk disharge also with stringy snotty jelly type discharge.(lovely part of pregnancy eh?) I had a biggish bit come out about 2 weeks ago then since every couple days a bit more but only smaller bits... It can come away for weeks. (our bodies way of playing tricks) 38 weeks tomorrow still now sign of baby I never even seen my plug go with my first 2 either so must of come out during labour.
Can be clear/snotty colour or when it's your ' bloody show' it will be tinged etc.

Can I jump in?
As quick I was to offer advice I now need it back!
I've had a lot of discharge today, it doesn't look thick or jelly like (as I'd expect plug to look) but it's really sticky, is it just normal pregnancy discharge or as it's sticky could it be my plug?
