Morning Mam’s.
Woken up this morning, had a wee, wiped and had at the start what looked like egg white ovulation discharge. You know the thick clear stringy type? Yeah, that. Didn’t think a whole lot of it and that was that.
Came downstairs and felt a little wet, wiped again in the kitchen and had jelly type discharge. No normal lady discharge, like, actually jelly. But clear.
It’s not thrush I know that much. And not green and yucky looking like a usual mucus plug. It’s pretty much clear and like jelly/gelatine.
Anyone else had this before? Or currently?
I have called into the hospital and they aren’t overly concerned as it’s not accompanied by any pain or blood.
I’m just curious as to whether anyone else has had this around 33 weeks? I’ve not heard it before! Xx

I’m sure I had something like this a few weeks ago x

I just had this morning & find out it's totally normal during the last trimester
Our body preparing for labour
Keep an eye on baby's movements x

could be mucus plug, it’s nothing to worry about yet, mucus plug can be lost any time in third trimester and if i remember correctly, it comes back several times x

Thanks all! 🙏🏼
I’ve seen a few of my friends mucus plugs and they’ve tended to come away all at once and look like lumpy, fleshy snot 🤢 lol.
The midwife did say the mucus plug can break away slowly and gradually so I’m guessing it is that.
Hoping that still means she stays there the full time. I don’t want her early by any means 🥲 xx

@Emily some people get discharge like this all through pregnancy so should be fine 🙂

I feel I’ve had it the whole way through thinking it was discharge🤦🏽♀️…but the further I’ve got on it’s got more greener and stringier I’m now 33+4 but not blood in it but everyone’s saying it can come out gradually and grow back,I’m a first time mum - i wouldn’t worry until there’s blood,I’ve done a urine sample at every appointment and nothing has come back of it x

Yeah, I had this about 32 weeks and asked my midwife about it as I’ve never lost mine in any previous pregnancy. She said mucus plug can be any colour from clear to cream (she didn’t say anything about green) and not to worry unless it had blood in it as it can regenerate xx

My apps and books say increased discharge including thicker discharge is normal for third trimester

Thank you all.
My discharge has remained the same consistently throughout but the fact it wasn’t just increased discharge or just generally thicker, it was actual lumps of jelly, threw me off 😂 like haribo jelly!! Actual gelatine 😮💨😂
All good since though, no more jelly shows and comforted by the fact it seems to be somewhat normal in these last couple months or so. 👶🏽 🩷

Wait until it gets closer to your due date. You’ll be waiting for it to appear with “yay for mucus” cheers 🤣🙈

As much as I’m DESPERATE to see her and meet her, I need her in as long as possible to be as strong as possible cos she’s a little poorly. 🥹 she needs max lung strength n growth in my belly so no early appearances desired!! 😮💨
Section happening at 39 weeks so she needs to stick her arms and legs out and stay there no matter what! 🤸🤣 xx

Ahhhhh, cross your legs and hope she cooperates then!! Hope everything goes ok for you xx
