Hi, I think I've replied to a post you did in the past about bleeding. Did the pains stop? Bleeding is normal for some women in pregnancy and unfortunately so is weird discharge! Sometimes mucus discharge can indicate an infection like thrush or something but depends on your other symptoms. I bled so much in 2 pregnancies and they are both fine and I lost bloody discharge in the pregnancy and she's doing great too. Try not to worry till you have your scan! Hope all goes well.

I had this stringy thing and everything is okay. Apparently you can lose small pieces from your mucus plug throughout pregnancy and it grows back, I would only be concerned if it was a large amount and blood tinged

It's doesn't really sound like too much to worry about but just show them the picture just incase. Pain is normal at beginning. My pain was do bad I had to stop what I was doing and sit down which drove me mad cos was sure there was something wrong but no everything fine. It's everything settling in and stretching. Is this your first? Sometimes bedding in pain is worse with first.

I had a miscarriage early on this year, i started with bleeding out of the blue which stopped for a day or so then started again heavily and lossing clots. It sounds like it was part of the mucus plug and that regenerates dont worry till after they tell you anything at the scan, stress wont help you
