Mucus or discharge?

Hello My name is Stacey, I'm bit confused on the type of discharge I'm getting. I do have 2 little girls, but this pregnancy (boy) has been totally different. I'm currently 28weeks+1 I've had alot of sickness real bad, but also has been straining me alot. The last few days my pubic bones has been really painful when I walk, get out of bed move around feels like strong pressure. Today I went toilet and I found discharge in my underwear so I used toilet paper to get it off sorry to be crude, but wasn't sure if it's discharge or mucus? Tia

Hi my name is dilpreet and I am also 23 weeks pregnant. I had the same problem but I had brown mucus discharge. But after few days its disappeared . And I went to the hospital and they did scan and check everything. And now I am ok. So don't take any stress of tension. Just do some rest and also meditation. Good luck

I also had two girls, then a boy and had more discharge throughout the pregnancy with my little boy, some.of which was as thick as your pic. No idea if that's a common thing or just a coincidence 🤷🏻‍♀️ Your pic looks like my mucus plug for the girls and my occasional thick discharge for the boy. I dont suppose that's very helpful!

It's hard to tell for sure, so I'd call triage just in case. I had my mucus plug come out at 35 weeks, went to triage, got checked out and kept for observation. My waters broke that evening and 5 hours later I gave birth to my baby boy. The doctor who examined me before my waters broke said there's 5% chance I'll give birth within a week. Not much, but as it turned out, I was that 5%.

Not what you're looking for?
