Very Early loss of plug? (TMI Post).

[rufalina]

Hi girls. I was just getting excited about finally reaching the third tri.

Sorry for the TMI, but, over the last day or so I have had some thick jelly like discharge (like snot but clear). I have had a few BH over the last week or so, but no other cramping...

Is this my plug? should I be worried? I have placed a call to my OBs office, but am waiting to hear back from him. but in the interim... a bit anxious about it...

TIA for your help.

Ruf - could it be thrush??? I have a thick discharge lately too - either clear or white and believe it is thrush - though its not like I used to have it, ie before pregnancy as I am not itchy. I have to take a swab when I go to have my GD test on Monday and they will test to give an answer for sure.
Fingers crossed everything is ok for you

I wondered that too... but I have never had thrush, and I have no itching or anything... just this really thick jelly like stringy stufff... still cant get hold of OB either...

Ruf- I'd reckon it's just your CM increasing.

If it were to be thrush you'd probably find it to be sort of yellow in colour, might have a slight smell too.

I got really string jelly like globs when i got to about thirty weeks, so i wouldn't be panicking.

Although (if you aren't already) wear a liner, JIC that way when you get hold of your OB you can take it in and show him/her.

Yeah I'd definately say it's just increased cm too. Can gross you out a bit sometimes but from memory I could tell when I lost my plug coz it was different again (apart from having some blood). Good to check with your ob if you're worried at all though, it can't hurt well maybe just your wallet haha

Ruf- well it could be. I actually lost mine last week whilst I was already a patient in hospital. And I am only 24weeks tomorrow, so was a little worried. Mine was a like that as well, but the blob was about the size of a twenty cent piece. Luckly I could actually show them right there and then. I too had lots of BH, and they were very painful- but that pain also had alot to do with the cyst i was told. The doctors and midwives told me not to worry to much as Ive had no contractions or water breaking. There apparently is no risk of infection until your waters break. So i am keeping mt legs and fingers crossed that bubs don't come to early.
