Am I losing my mucus plug? (WARNING: photos attached)

Hi all,

I'm 37 weeks +1 day pregnant, and I've been having some early labour symptoms for a few days now. I've been losing what I believe to be my mucus plug over the past three days (apologies - I know the photo is gross!) - I would say I pass what's in the photo about 3x or more per day, and it increases with each day.

My question is: those of you who have given birth before - does this look like a mucus plug to you? Unfortunately my obstetrician is being a bit dismissive, even though I'm having other symptoms like period-type cramping (mostly at night and early morning), low back pain and some diarrhoea. I'm meant to have a scheduled c-section in two weeks, but I worry baby won't be able to stay in for much longer. Any thoughts?

Thanks so much!

Mine was thicker and more solid, as well as being streaked with blood.

Mine was huge. That just looks like discharge to me
