Heya, hard to say really but remember even if it is the mucus plug that it may very well regenerate before birth and doesn’t mean that you’re heading to labour necessarily.

I lost my mucus plug last week (and it did look similar, just quite a bit more of it) and still nothing (nearly 39 weeks though). Told my
midwife but she said it doesn’t mean much so long as my waters don’t break :)

I had bits like this coming out of me from around 35 weeks. My waters went at 35+5 and had to have an emergency c section 🤣

What does it smell of?

I Leaked a lot but plug and waters smelt like spermicide/condoms
