Help! 17w4d is this the mucus plug? TMI Should i be worried?

Question

I don't have any bleeding or contractions. But this morning when I was peeing it came out in a gush, now I've been peeing a lot more lately which I know is normal, but then I found this when getting ready to take a shower. Never had anything like it with baby #1 but I did have premature labor issues. Is this just discharge or do I need to be seen? Thanks ladies!

Answer

It regenerates.  I’ve lost bits of mine since 20 weeks and I’m now almost 38 weeks.  Mention it to your doctor at your next appointment, but no need to be worried.

Answer

I think you can lose bits of your mucus plug and it replenishes itself throughout your pregnancy. The whole plug is much bigger in size. It could also just be discharge that looks different.

Answer

Losing your mucous plug doesn’t mean anything. And that doesn’t look like one, that looks like discharge.

Answer

It regenerates and gets lost a couple times. Unless you have other labor symptoms, do NOT worry. The mucus plug is not the big indicator of labor most women think. Heck, I didn’t even notice when I lost mine. But I thick discharge multiple times. No worries!

Answer

Thanks ladies! Your advice really helps.

Answer
