No, I would say that's normal. I've had it quite a few times throughout x

Thank you for replying! Every where I look says it’s mucus plug 🙁🙁 I’m hoping it’s not x

I've been having it every now and then since about 10 weeks (varying quantities) and baby is absolutely fine. Here's a thread I found on another site which has more answers. I know your plug can come away and then regenerate itself but my midwife just told me the discharge was normal and didn't mention it being the plug x www.netmums.com/coffeehouse/becoming-mum-pregnancy-996/netmums-52/1416430-big-blob-jelly-like-discharge-19-weeks-pregnant.html

This is discharge, your body creates more during pregnancy to prevent infections. You will definitely know when it’s your mucus plug. It’s thicker, usually yellow or blood stained and more of it.

Get this all the time! Nothing to worry about.

Even if some of your mucus plug came away early on in pregnancy it will regenerate. In fact, I think I read somewhere that we lose and regenerate bits of it all through pregnancy.

I've lost my mucus plug twice in my pregnancy, midwife told me not to worry as they regenerate anyway so try not stress too much xx

It is now like the glue on the front of magazines that they use when they stick toys and stuff to the front? Xx
