Mucus plug??!!

Question

I just noticed a small piece of clear discharge like jelly in my panties when I went to the bathroom..it was stretchy and thicker than snot. Is this part of my mucus plug?? I couldn't find very much about it online or any definate source saying that it grows back...I'm only 28 weeks along..any help is appreciated!!

Answer

Could be. Usually it'll be blood tinged, but not always. And it can regenerate itself. So no need to worry. Even losing it later in pregnancy is no sure sign that labour is close or round the corner. (Although it can be sometimes).

Answer

I get that all the time. It's not your plug, just an extra nasty blob of your already normal increased discharge. But even if it actually is part of the plug, don't worry. You can lose the whole thing and have it start regenerating and doesn't guarantee that you will go into labor.

Answer

It'll be fine :) your mucus plug is normally quite substantial and has some blood in it. What you've had could be a piece of it but it regenerates. Also it could just be normal pregnancy discharge. Call your doctor so they can rule out any infections or anything :)

Answer

It's. Good chance it might be, but you aren't even full term yet..😱

Answer

Def tell your doc....it can regenerate in some cases. Started losing mine at 29wks..went in for checkup two days later and was 2cm dilated!!
