    Everything that's not in the books is worrying!! I have lost little pieces that look like snot (gross again I know!!), but only little and not frequent and forgot about it until I saw your post.

    So glad we have BB to talk about the real ins and outs of preg!

    In my 2nd pregnancy I had more mucous as the pregnancy went on. Maybe that's all it was. Maybe if it doesn't stop in a day or two get checked out.
    It's good that there was no blood in it though.

    Hi there,

    it might be an idea to go in to your ob/midwife/doc and get a swab done. I had this happen and just on a hunch went and called my ob. It wasn't even from wiping - I just saw it in the toilet....She told me to come straight in and have a test to rule out mucous plug. In my case I tested positive for PPRM and was admitted to hosp (33 weeks). I am not in any way wanting to worry you, but it would be best to be safe and rule this out.

    On the way in to the hosp I felt silly like I was wasting my OB's time, but ended up having a baby from the visit. The swab test is quick and not painful but might give you some reassurance.

    Good luck.

    I'd check with your midwife/doctor just incase but sounds like it's mucus, it builds up and is very common in pregnancy and completly normal! If your not having any contractions or weird feelings then I wouldn't be worried about it!
