What is this? TMI AHEAD!!

Question

Uh, is this my mucus plug? 
33+4, been having inconsistent contractions all night, and have been really stressed the past 24-48 hours. 
This is baby #2 and I honestly don't remember what it looks like, it was super sticky and long, and smelled weird lol (sorry, I warned you tmi) No spotting though. Help!

Answer

What the other ladies are describing is the bloody show. Which is the mucus plug with blood in it or accompanied by blood. Which happens when labor is nearing or it can happen while in early labor.

I've had what you're having as well and it is my mucus plug. I also had it last time with baby number 2 and I had her early at 34 weeks because my water had broken because I was starting to dilate. Both my doctor this time and last time agreed that it was my mucus plug because I showed them and they identified it. 
It comes off in pieces sometimes and depending on how often it comes, it can regenerate and be fine. Last time mine wouldn't stop breaking off (probably because of dilation). I never had blood in it last time. Your mucus plug doesn't have to have blood in it, especially because usually labor isn't near, your cervix may just be softening. Which is happening to me now. It's softening but not dilating yet.

My doctors are watching me heavily this time because I've been losing my plug since 28 weeks, I'm 33 weeks right now. Please just monitor yourself best as possible. You don't have to worry yourself but just keep aware of your body ❤

Answer

I don't think so. When I lost my plug with my first pregnancy it was more brown than yellow.

Answer

Just looks like normal discharge, I've been having what looks just like that on and off basically my whole second and third trimester. When I lost my mucus plug with my first baby it was really big and had a lot of blood in it.

Answer

Your mucous plug will be a lot more than that!

Answer

Ok. I'm just getting nervous because I've had contractions since yesterday, backache, and random leaks of what I assume is pee without any coughing/sneezing/laughing or anything. I can't remember what it looked like with my first so I feel clueless.
