TMI but what the heck is this?

If you get queezy easily stop reading now. So, it seems I have globs of mucus coming out occasionally over the past few days. Today it was yellow? I'm 33 weeks. It's not like chunks of mucus plug at all, just globs of mucus and I'm feeling a bit crampy. What is the deal?

It's normal. Get used to it, it only gets worse.

yup, normal.  i got it the first time both pregnancies around 20 weeks.

It's just the joys of excessive discharge during pregnancy. If it has a cottage cheese texture or has a bad odor then you may have an infection so get it checked out in that scenario. Otherwise....normal.

It sure is a great way to kill any mood for sex though isn't it? Haha. I get grossed out just thinking about my poor hubby having to be in that area considering it's horrendous nature at the moment.

I had the same thing happen around 24-25 wks... (no order, no cottage cheese look, just normal but a lot of yellow dc)  I considered it normal pregnancy problem but mentioned it at a my doctor's appointment... she said it was a mild yeast infection and to treat it!  WOW, so glad I did because it was pretty uncomfortable.

You will come to know that on this board pretty much everything could make you queasy, so no need to warn us.

Could be your mucus plug or just the fun stuff of discharge.  That can come out weeks ahead of time and even re-generate.

Talked to my doc office and it seems it was my mucus plug. I had some cramping afterward and then nothing.
