Losing part of mucus plug at 25 weeks? tmi pic included

[Summertimesaddness]

Hi, first time mum to be and first time poster here. Just looking for a bit of reassurance and advice if possible. I'm not sure if I have lost some of my mucus plug this evening (see pic)? I rang the pregnancy assessment centre and told them and also mentioned lower backache. They told me to keep an eye on it and keep an eye out for other symptoms. The thing is I've googled losing your mucus plug at 25 weeks and I've scared myself as it says it could be a sign of preterm Labour which could start in days or a few weeks. Just wondering if it even is part of my mucus plug? And if so has anyone got any experience of what happens next? Thanks!

I’m not sure that’s mucus plug. Mucus plug has blood in it normally. To me my mucus plug was like a big bloody slug 😂. I think your hormones have ramped up and you’ve produced more cm. For reassurance if you don’t go into labour after 24 hours from losing mucus plug your body regenerates another one. I lost several with ds at full term plus, still never went into labour naturally.

That looks like discharge to me. The plug was more blobby and jelly like. It’s not uncommon for bits of your plug to come away though and it regenerates so don’t panic

Thank you both for your quick responses. I'm probably being overly anxious as this is my first pregnancy but I feel much better now 😊

TMI- Hi I need some help. I’ve posted some pictures of my discharge that are from today, I’m 22 weeks pregnant. Is this normal? I’m really worried as it’s my first pregnancy.

Hi guys

Just wanting to know the outcome of both these cases? I am 25weeks today and just had the same as you both above? What happened after you posted these? X

As a person who also had this happen and mine looked exactly like the one in the picture. I can tell you I did go to labor and delivery. They did tell me it was my mucous plug. This person is right on one thing though, it does grow back. I’m 25 weeks pregnant as a second time mom. Both times I’ve been pregnant I have lost my mucous plug over 10 times during my pregnancies. Still never went into labor. It grows back. It’s not a big deal. But the one thing this person is wrong on is in this picture. It is a mucous plug!!! Mucus plugs don’t always have blood in them!!! They can have blood in them but they don’t always. If you have any concerns please call your OBGYN or go into L&D.💕
