I'm losing mine also I tell the difference because it's coming out in like lumps and strings and its thick and jelly like. The color is clear with a little green just like mucus My discharge I've been having prior is more watery. They tested my urine and there is no infection so its definitely the plug

Ya that definitely is your plug! What I'm having now is exactly what I had with my first pregnancy! If you start having contractions or your water breaks in the next few days then you'll know for sure! Mention it at your next appointment and your doctor will probably check your cervix to see if you're starting to dilate at all. When I got checked a few days ago I'm 1cm dilated

Well mine comes out greenish. No smell def not stringy like lol tiny clumps. I dont wanna post a picture but I feel I must to be able to understand. This is my first natural birth so i have not a damn clue. Plus when i shower I usually put my finger inside to clean myself and its just white and not thick. But when i get it on my sani pad its different in color like wth

Trust me when I say YOULL KNOW. It’s so majorly different. It’s a huge piece of thick mucus (unless you lose it in pieces).. long most of the time and usually a tiny bit of blood tinge in it! And that’s a sign of labor progressing! Lost mine and my water broke 5 hours later

Definitely not your mucus plug if your 30 weeks.. green is sign of infection so I’d call!

You might not lose it at all until labor. That’s been the case with me for both of my babies. Everyone always told me how I’d lose my plug but it never happened until I was in active labor. Maybe I’m abnormal. I have no idea.
