37.5 weeks-brownish discharge

edited December 2013 in 3rd Trimester

There was no blood at all, just a sludgy brownish discharge yesterday & I somehow can't remember having this before my daughter was born.  I only remember what it was like when my water broke. Is this the mucus plug? I'm embarrassed that I don't know!!!  I feel fine, no cramping & lots of movement from the baby... & does it mean labor is coming this week? I go back to the Dr. on Monday so I'll ask then, but just curious about your experiences.

Me: 42, DH: 43. We are so grateful to have a 2yr old daughter, conceived naturally after 3 miscarriages & no treatments (our Dr. gave us 1 more month to try on our own before advacing to IVF, & we conceived her naturally in January 2010)! Trying since April 2011 without sucess....MD said we were both "fine" & that if it wasn't happening, it was a chromosomal issue. Finally started Follistim 225mcg injections with an Ovidrel trigger November 2012. Bleeding 11 days post Ovidrel on November 25th. Starting the whole lab/Ultrasound/Follistim cycle again on November 27th...

    That is not a for sure labour sign.  Could be a little bit of old blood from the last time you had sex, which goes brown over time.  Doesn't sound like your mucus plug.

    I have heard of only some of the mucous plug coming out at a time. It can also create more mucous for the plug.

    Could have been part of ur plug. U don't always see it so with DD u prob missed it. I never saw it with my DD either so not entirely sure. But from what I've read, that is what it sounds like.
