20 Weeks, mucus plug or discharge (Warning Picture Included TMI)

[KLR2019]

Hi,

Just after some advice I have called my midwife and she told me not to worry but this is my first child after a miscarriage and everything am worried over.

I went the toilet today because I felt really wet down there and when I checked I had this in my underwear I originally thought that it is just normal discharge I have had this from the start but never this much but then I googled it while waiting for my midwife to call me and seen a lot of post saying it may be my mucus plug. The baby has been moving a lot today too but no pain but I have had cramping throughout my pregnancy too

Can some one help me or kind of reassure me that everything is okay, is this a mucus plug or just heavy discharge

I've had this kind of discharge throughout my pregnancy on and off and I'm now 37 weeks and baby still in there! I know how you feel though miscarriage makes you question everything.

Hope that is of help

I am 17 weeks pregnant and get this alot

i think this is a normal pregnancy discharge.

18 weeks and have this all the time. Its so hard not to worry especially after losses but looks like normal discharge your plug is like a massive gloop of jelly x

Thank you everyone for getting back to me, am a nervous wreck with everything but am glad you have all experienced it I cannot wait for her to be here she’s been really active today.

Did any of you get investigated with this?

I would say normal discharge too. Mucus plug in my experience is more jelly like if that makes sense. Lost mine when I was induced and was well and truly shocked. Even took a pic to show the midwife.

Nobody would get investigated for this it is normal discharge in pregnancy.

When you lose your mucus plug you will know!

Another reassuring vote for normal discharge 🙂
