Discharge
 

Everytime I have gone to the bathroom this morning, when I wipe there is this clear, mucus looking discharge. I am 35 weeks pregnant and have been told if I lost the mucus plug it would be tinted pink. So, what could this be?

I have been having the same stuff for the past few weeks and there are days
where there is more, and some days where there is hardly any. It is
completely normal and is just a vaginal discharge. If you lose your mucus
plug it will definitely be distinguishable, unmistakable. I didn't lose
mine noticably, I never saw any change in my discharge. Good luck!

When I lost my mucous plug it was just a chunk of mucous (sorry if TMI) and
it was not blood tinged at all...just looked like a huge booger (sorry
again, TMI). I had been having contractions the whole day prior and had my
son the next day at noon. He was 11 days early. I know that you can lose
your mucous plug and not go into labor for at least another week or so also.
Not sure if you're getting just some heavy discharge or if it's the
plug...why not put a call into the doctor?

Good luck!

| There is the mucus plug and then there is bloody show.. mucus plug coming
out does not mean too much but bloody show means you are in labor.


Bloody show does not necessarily mean you are in labour. I had a bloody show
on my EDD and kept having them on and off for 1 week an ended up being
induced at 13 days overdue.

Richard,

Towards the end of pregnancy, high levels of progesterone can cause more
discharge than usual, so it could be that, or the mucous plug can which can
be clear. I think if the discharge is watery it's more likely due to
progesterone and if more stringy then could be the plug.

Good luck!

normal discharge (which increases as pregnancy continues).
