Ok, So This Is Kinda Gross... But I'm Really Curious ... Posted: 01-28-06 23:35pm
I know all throughout pregnancy you have a
whitish discharge... If it is coming out
brownish or reddish, does that mean I lost
my mucus plug? I'm not having any major
cramping or anything so i'm not sure what
it is..

How far along are you? I don't recall
losing my mucus plug, but it's my
understanding that it's different than
just your regular run of the mill
discharge. You could just be spotting.
Or it could be your mucus plug... I'm
not sure. It's not gross, though. :)

Then it's more than likely not your mucus
plug. You really could just be spotting.
It happens. If you're concerned I
would call the doc just to be safe.

More than likely your cervix is starting
to thin out, preparing for childbirth.
The proverbial mucous plug can come out
all at once, or a little bit at a time.
It looks like snot, and can be tinged with
blood at times.
At 34 weeks along you are probably already
seeing your doctor every two weeks. If
there is not a lot of blood your doctor
will probably tell you to just keep an eye
on it. If you are overly worried call
your doctor to discuss the blood. I
wouldn't be surprised if at your next
visit he/she tells you that your cevix is
thinning/starting to dialate. The process
can take several weeks.
