Okay so yesterday I went to the doctor and she done a cervical check, she also checked me the day before yesterday. I was 1cm dilated but she took longer to check me yesterday and it was more painful than the day before. She didn’t tell me if she stripped my membranes or not, but considering the time it took and the pain I feel like she could’ve. I woke up this morning and got ready, then went to pee and this was in my pants and there was more when I wiped. I didn’t get a picture of the toilet paper.

My question is, does this look like the start of my mucus plug coming out?

Edited to add: this morning after sex there was more and it was bloody. Pretty sure my plug is slowly but surely coming out.
