Could this be mucus plug or discharge?

This is the third "bit" today that's looked like this- and it felt a bit jelly like rather than "wet" like normal discharge.

This wasn't when I wiped- it was kind of just "hanging half out" 😩😂 sorry for the TMI

Thanks!

I'm only 8 weeks and had this kind of discharge a few times. It would be a lot more if it was your mucus plug. With my daughter it definitely was anyway but I'm no expert x

I had something really similar looking when I was 39 weeks and did end up going into labour the next day, so I think I it wasn't my mucus plug. I wasn't sure if it was my mucus plug as it looked so skinny but it definitely felt like totally different to all my normal discharge.

I would note that you can lose (and regrow) your mucus plug weeks in advance of labour so tbh labour starting the next day was a huge surprise for me, despite being 39 weeks!

Definitely thinking this is part of the mucus plug now- 39+1

On the day I turned 37 weeks I had discharge that looked like that and it felt like sticky glue. Only a small amount when I wiped after a wee. Different to any discharge I have ever had so knew it must be something to do with it. Nothing else except watery discharge for a few days after that until my waters broke at 38+1 days last week. Then then rest of the plug came with blood in it but not as much as others have had described. Only had a small trickle but had my baby early hours 38+6days. So, it could be a good sign. Best of luck X
