So as a few of you know I have suffered a bit today, I’ve had diarrhoea all evening - passed 8 movements in 4hrs.
My stomach is gurgling like mad.
I’ve had on/off period like cramps.
Now this?!
Would you say my plug is coming away?

Yes, it looks like it. I had diarrhea too and the first part of the mucus plug looked just like that. Also started having light cramping, like period pains .

You'll probably lose more goop that looks like just the beginning but sounds like labor soon

Uhm. Unless you’re having a home birth maybe go get checked so you don’t get too far along to not have an epidural if you want one and stuff.

Losing your mucus plug or parts of it does not mean labour is near.
You can lose your mucus plug several times during pregnancy, and it just regenerates.
If you had your 'bloody show' that is a sign labour is near.
To me, this just looks like normal pregnancy discharge.

I personally don’t think that is your mucus plug. Pregnant with baby number two right now and my doctor told me that your plug has at least a little bit of blood in it. I personally think that’s just discharge which definitely increases as you get closer!
Losing your mucus plug also doesn’t mean that you’re necessarily super close. It could still be weeks. I’m not telling you this to be negative or a downer… This is coming from a VERY pregnant mom of a 16 month old tornado who is so ready to get her own baby out! 😬😬Wishing you all the best! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

I lost a big chunk of my mucus plug two weeks ago. It's a jellyish consistency. Told my ob and he said unfortunately thats not a sign labor is near.

Looks like regular discharge, your mucus plug is mostly clear and very jelly like/ stretchy like Alyssa mentioned! Also you definitely regenerate it several times in pregnancy so not a real sign of labor (from my experience) the diarrhea could be though!

No, that looks like regular discharge. Your mucus plug will be a lot thicker than that, just keep an eye. Also loosing your mucus plug doesn’t mean you’ll go into labour as it regenerates ☺️

Ive lost a tiny bit of mucus plug and its much thicker, like jelly but also like thick snot
Eeeeek

That doesn't look like your mucus plug, I'd say more like normal discharge. I lost my muscus plug over a week before my first was born so it's not an indication labour is about to happen.

Oh I remember the diarrhoea and the light cramping pains I lost some of my mucas plug 2 days after this. However it doesn’t indicate labour
