Clear/cloudy-white gelatin-like at 32 weeks. When I lost mine at 40 weeks after my membrane sweep it was similar but with a tinge of pink/red from blood. Didn’t get to see it except a tiny piece the last time when I got induced at 41+5 and they broke my waters. All 3 times it came out in pieces rather than a whole chunk. Reminded me of discharge almost but much much thicker.

I lost mine a few times around 32-36 weeks and it was thick clear/cloudy and jelly like. When my waters went, it was very obviously different, noticeable amounts of blood, the plug had pink streaks and there was more of it.

As gross and silly as it is like a big booger. I lost mine at 38 weeks, and the next week, I was having my son.

Thank you ladies! I think I was irritated down there or I lost a small bit of my mucous plug bc I wiped after using the bathroom & there was small amounts of blood but no mucus. I went to the hospital and everything checked out fine.

That's good. It is also possible to lose some and it rebuilds.

Help

I was getting pretty painful period cramps and during those, I had painful lower back cramps. I had these on and off for like a few hours so from about 10:30pm to 1am?

I’ve had no show, or anything like that.

Is this braxton hicks or early labour pains?

Anyone else felt like this?

Hi, I’m 4 months postpartum, little one sleeps through the night and is formula fed, the last week I’ve felt extremely tired and very hungry! Just wondered if anyone else has felt this way/experienced this?

Early waters/pre term labour?

I can’t get checked until later today unfortunately. I can’t tell if I’m leaking/starting early. I definitely think I’m having braxton hicks yesterday and today.. i have some pain in my back but she is quite low down so hoping it’s just pressure, baby was a little quieter yesterday but she’s back to more normal movements today, but my underwear just seems to get so wet, especially after going to the bathroom. And I honestly can’t work out the smell, I’m pretty sure it’s just discharge/urine leaking but there’s that worry in my mind a little. Are there any other ways to know/check if it could be the start of it all?
