Discharge or mucus plug?

I'm 35 weeks, yesterday went to OB appt and my doctor checked my cervix and I was 1cm dilated. Afterwards we went shopping and walked around some, I've had Braxton hicks for many weeks now but in the last 12 they have been increasing, especially with walking around, anyways I had Braxton hicks the rest of the day, and with some mild cramping, figured it wa just from the exam, this morning I woke up used the toilet, and when I wiped noticed a blob of thick snot, sorry little gross. This is my second pregnancy but I never passed the mucus plug with my first, that I know of. What do you ladies think? There wasn't any blood in the blob.. maybe just a slight yellow... Don't want to sound silly phoning the doc today about it... If its nothing. any similar experiences?

Re: Discharge or mucus plug?

  • Probably your MP, but no need to phone the doc -- it doesn't necessarily mean labour is eminent, from what I've been told.

  • I lost my mucus plug and the doctor didn't act like it was anything he really needed to know about.

  • It probably was your MP. Don't call your doctor. It doesn't mean anything to lose it. 
  • Ditto on the PP's.

    Sounds like the MP - no need to call!

  • Yep, sounds like MP. I lost mine at 33 weeks and I'm no where near labor. No need to call doc.

  • I lost mine with DD in little pieces for a few weeks. Like others mentioned I wouldn't call it's totally normal. And can replenish itself.

  • I'll third this.  I lost my MP about two weeks ago and still no baby.  The doctors don't seem to be incredibly worried about this.
