Hi danni hope you have spoken to your doc or midwife just to ease your mind. I just wanted to say good luck as i dont think your far off bub being here. Your going to be a great mum, xxxx

Don't worry about these questions being 'tmi' we've all been through this & are here to help. It really sounds like you are very close to seeing your beautiful baby! This discharge may be normal but the colour is a bit odd - talk to doctor about it just to be on the safe side. But don't get yourself into a panic, I'm sure all is fine. All women are different, like I didnt have any discharge at all with my first 2 & just the 'plug' with my third. Some get discharge, some don't, & the discharge can be different.

Hi Dannii,

I've had the thick green discharge with all mine, and for me it is normal.  It can be a sign of dehydration, or so I've been told, but I just think it is normal.

You will know if it is the plug.  It will look like a melted lolly egg and have the texture of almost latex.  It will also be streaked with blood and is often anywhere from clear in colour right through to the green.

With discharge in pregnancy, unless there is itching or burning, then it is fine.  Our cervix need to go through a cleaning cycle too.  It actually means your body is doing its job.

The feeling you are getting now is because bubs head is right down low.  I know when I wipe myself a little less gently, there is an instant reaction and back to the waterfall again! lol.  If you are sexually active (as uncomfortable as it can be) still, then your partner might be able to tell you he can feel bubs head moving around. 

Every thing to me sounds like you are right on track.  I'm not far behind you and feel as though I'm at the same stage.  I suppose it lasts for the last 3 months.

hiya sweetie,

Sounds to me like your mucus plug, BUT what concerns me is thhe snot coloured discharge. IT PROBABLY is nothing, HOWEVER you can not afford to take any chances, and you HAVE to talk to your midwife.  Good luck, im so excited about the upcoming birth!!

it sounds like the mucus plug to me.  With my first, I noticed the lost of my plug after I went to the bathroom and wiped myself. It was clear, slimey looking. There wasn't much. But then the next morning, when I went to the bathroom first thing in the morning, there was a lot more with a little bit of blood. After that I had increased contraction and I gave birth the next day on my son's due date.

If this is your mucus plug, that means you will start to dilate. But this doesn't necessarily mean you will go into labor just yet. Women go weeks to as much as a couple month dilated to 2 cm before they go into labor.

My suggestion is to keep monitoring yourself for signs and any changes. Take note if your braxton hicks are coming much more than before and if you feel/notice them a lot more. This will be one of your clues as to whether you are starting labor...and call your doctor. You're just a tad bit early right now to give birth just yet.

Hi Dannii,

I personally think that you need to get in touch with your local Maternity hospital as soon as possible. Any coloured discharge during pregnancy can be a sign of something else. Plus the fact that you have had an increase in discharge would also increase the need to speak to a midwife asap . .

Please make that call . . .

Cheers Kellz

Dannii, if I remember correctly that's some of the baby's poop coming out.. (I think.. I could be wrong)
But I think you should call your local maternity ward at the hospital and ask them.. You might have to go in, as labor might be coming soon for you!
