Streak of pinkish/brown discharge - start of bloody show?

course11

Sorry in advance if these are dumb (and TMI) questions!

I just used the ladies room and found a streak of pinkish/brown discharge in my underwear.  There was nothing else there when I wiped (sorry, TMI!) but this makes me wonder if it could be the start of my mucus plug coming out? I haven't had sex recently and have not had an internal exam in weeks.

I am at work now, and have to teach a class tonight. What do I do if it comes out during my class? Is it going to soak through my pants? Can I get by with a large sanitary napkin? Yuck. I am not exactly savoring the prospect of dealing with this while teaching 20 students!

Or am I overreacting because it turns out to be very normal to have pink/brown discharge well before MP comes out?

Thanks for your input!!

Mine came out mostly in one piece, with a little more over the next few days. I'd just wear a panty liner. Mine only ever came out when I was using the restroom or taking a shower, but at least with a liner you don't have to worry as much.

mine came out little by little through the day friday (had him saturday night - water didn't break until I was in labor.)  i was wearing a pad so that helped, but the majority of it came when going to the bathroom.

Thanks, ladies!

I've had no more discharge since then so I'll keep an eye out, but stop worrying that it's going to happen during class.

Update... there's been more streaking in my underwear and now I'm having some stomach cramps in my upper/midsection that feel more intense than BH. They're not timeable - it seems like a constant ache, not anything that comes and goes - and I don't have back pain, but I feel a little sick to my stomach.

I know I'm a bit dehydrated and I haven't eaten enough today, but I had a big glass of water an hour ago, followed by a bowl of cereal, and I feel worse, not better. I'm also massively constipated (ugh).
