Did I lose my mucus plug??

Question

I am 39 weeks and 5 days.  Over the last couple days I have been getting frequent Braxton hicks with cramping as well as back pain - when mentioning this to my doctor, she didn't seem bothered by this, so I figured I shouldn't think too much of it.
I am currently 3cm dilated, 60% effaced, and at 0 station.  I had a cervical exam by my doctor today (my second one). My first exam resulted in some blood after followed by brown discharge and slowly went away over the next day or so.  
However, this time was a bit different.  Afterwards I at first had some brown color, then later just a little liquidy blood tinged discharge. 
I am still having the Braxton hicks with cramping and lower back pain.  I just went to the bathroom..I noticed on the toilet paper that there was some redish pink snotty mucus.  I'm not sure if this is my mucus plug coming out or if it's from the exam.  This is my first pregnancy so I have no idea.  What do you ladies think?  Picture below:

BUMP - still need more input and advice

Answer

I would call the hospital. Especially since your almost 40 weeks. Maybe you are in labor. Blood is never a good sign.

Answer

That's your mucus plug. Just monitor your contractions and head to the hospital once they're about 5 min apart. You don't loose your mucus plug every time before labor, it can be different for each pregnancy.

Answer

Looks like you probably did lose it but unless you continue bleeding it's nothing to worry about :) unless you start having contractions or your water breaks you should be fine just doing whatever you normally do
