Start of losing mucus plug OR normal after exam discharge?

Cheyenne

SO;

Im currently 39 + 1 weeks & I went in for my weekly check up yesterday. I’ve been dilated to 1cm & 75% effaced since about 37 weeks with no change. I get what seems to be pretty average Braxton-Hicks daily, some being more intense than others, but nothing that’s consistent as far as timing goes. I also don’t normally bleed or have any abnormal discharge after my weekly exams HOWEVER, almost 3-4 hours after my visit yesterday I noticed some brownish discharge in my underwear & just a bit when I wiped after going to the bathroom. Could it be that the dr was just a little more rough than usual or do you think it’s the start of me losing my mucus plug?

As a side note:: At the visit yesterday it was with the delivering dr & she seems pretty confident that by next Monday (my due date) my LO will still be hanging around in my belly & said we will end up scheduling an induction date that day.
