I looks a bit thick to be normal discharge.. maybe plug? I remember mine looked similar but it was blood tinged, not a lot just enough for me to notice

mollieangel123 · 23/06/2021 21:00

@mollieangel123 have you had any cramps or anything since?
I cramped a lot after I lost my plug

Only thing I'm getting is horrible sensations near my vagina (sorry tmi) and a few aches but the aches isn't bad. Iv had this discharge/plug thing since last week on and off guessing it's just coming out slowly maybe? Xx

My plug was a thick lump of mucus with bloody streaks.

@mollieangel123 yeah they happened straight away, mine came out like that at first in dribs & drabs for about 2 weeks with on and off cramping

Mine was thicker with streaks of blood.

I'm 35+3 and I haven't had any that thick or snot like so maybe plug!

It might be the early stages of the plug as I had some discharge like this shortly before mine. I couldn't miss the plug when it finally came out though - huge amount of very thick, bloody mucus. It covered the whole of the toilet paper on my palm.

Good luck for your birth!

This would be fairly normal looking for me during pregnancy.
I lost much thicker type mucous plug from about 34 weeks onward - but it can regenerate. I had my first at 37 weeks.
