    Hi Clover
    I need to ask a few Q’s before I can answer.
    Does this loss happen when you first get out of bed?
    Is it smelly?
    Is it frothy? Even a little
    How long did your back pain last?
    Are you itchy?
    Is the loss thick like when you blow your nose or it more like a runny nose?
    If you are a little embarrassed to answer here you can PM me

    No, thats ok.
    Not smelly, frothy or itchy at all. The first time I noticed it was Sunday night, about the size of a 20c piece, then yesterday morning, about the size of a 5c piece & tonight. The amount was probably between the other 2.
    Its hard to describe what it was like. It wasn't runny. It was kinda thick & stringy, but not gluggy like glue, lol. I hope that made sense?
    Oh, & the back pain lasted for about an hour. Just a constant ache.

    Is it stringy like CM can be?

    No, well I've only seen it once after getting out of bed. Yesterday morning. The other 2 times were more after cooking dinner.
    I think its more stringy. I don't know. I've never had cm like it before, so can't be sure.
    To me it was more like stringy cheese. Thats a better description I think.

    Ok I don't really think that it is your plug however without being able to see it I can't be sure. My first thought is that it could be thrush starting to take hold. You can go to the chemist and get your prefered thrush treatment. They are all safe to use during pregnancy. If the loss increases it would be worth getting things checked out. Also I would mention it at your next antenatal visit.

    Ok thanks. I've had thrush a few times before. I have none of those symptoms & have never had this type of discharge, so we'll see.
    It is slightly similar to the plug when I lost it in my first pregnancy, which is why I thought of it. Except that time there was a heck of alot more & it was grey & blood streaked. I lost it in 2 seperate lots the day before my labour started.
    I was pretty sure I was worried about nothing, but its good to know
    Thanks

    The colour is the main reason that I don't think that it is your plug.
