    Thats what mine was like and i lost it in pieces from about the same time as you. I described it like clag glue LOL
    It's not quite that thick, more like... You know when you're whipping cream, and before it starts getting solid, it goes thinner first? Kinda like that.

    Hmm, so it *could* be my plug starting to cone away? I thought that was usually a bit bloody, though?

    I'll give the hospital a call once I hop out the bath (yeah, BBing in the bath, I'm obsessed ) - suppose i should keep an eye out for any *in* the bath, too, hey?

    Mine never had blood in it. The only blood i saw was when i had my bloody show after my waters broke.

    For now i would just monitor it. It could be normal discharge or could be your plug coming away. Its different for everybody but trust your instincts if you believe its not right just give your birth suite a call just for some advice.

    I think there's a difference between your plug & a bloody show.

    I only had a bloody show once (with Pie) and it was like when you have a bad cold, and you blow your nose & there's blood in it (yeah, gross). Your plug can come away in bits for ages before labour.

    I did have a lot of discharge though & it would change a bit from time to time. Sometimes it was so thin it was like I'd wet myself, other times it would get a bit thicker. I don't think it was ever yellow or green though.

    I tend to agree with KM, I'd keep an eye on it for now & if you're feeling worried, give them a call.

    being thin I doubt it would be your plug, but hey i'm not expert. If it would help i'd ring up and ask.

    Just wanted to say how amazingly strong you are! You are doing an amazing job!

    Teni, it sounds just like a thicker, more colourful version of leukorrhea to me.
    I think your plug is a bit thicker than what you're describing, but even if it were your plug I wouldn't be alarmed.
    It's the colour that I'd find a little worrying...? It's a very faint yellow/green? I'm sure it's fine as long as it doesn't smell bad. If it's smelly too it could be thrush or some kind of infection, but if it's very faint colour and not particularly smelly then I'd say its just one of those uncomfy discharges of pregnancy.
    I'm not a midwife though, so maybe call them if you're worried. xx
