Im about one week from my due date. I started having a very thick, gooey, discharge about three days ago. I thought a mucus plug would come out all in one piece and look likea chunck of snot but this is more of a constant discharge ( I notice it about three times a day). Could it be possible that the mucus plug comes out like this over the course of several days? Also, there is no blood at all. Its about the same color as regular discharge but it's just VERY thick and stringy.

I agree with the others that this is the mucus plug. I didnt loose mine at one time. I noticed the discharge for about a week and there was no blood present.

Sounds like the mucus plug to me. I don't even remember my mucus plug with my son. All I know is that my water broke and I was in labor...I remember discharge throughout pregnancy but I didn't have a huge chunk of gross stuff come out right before I went into labor. Call the doctor..but it kind of sounds like that might be it.

I discharged a lot before I gave birth, and for me the mucus plug WAS one whole unit of mucus. Ask your doctor if you're worried though. Don't be embarrassed. I almost had a baby 3 time before I actually had him *smile*

I don't really know, when i had my first son, the plug came out and it was bloody. with the second, i never saw anything. i am now 39 weeks pregnant and i am having snot like discharge a few times a day. it started when i had my membranes stripped. so if you find out for sure~ LET ME KNOW!!

i don't think it's the mucus plug! you are just experiencing heavy discharge, WHICH IS NORMAL, during pregnancy. the mucus plug WILL be blood tinged! i lost my mucus plug about an HOUR before i had my first child. with the rest of my children, i lost the mucus plug after they broke my water at the hospital... so i never ACTUALLY saw it with the last babies.

it can come out gradually. mine did, over a period of a few weeks. blood isnt necessarily there in the beginning. it will be at the end of the mucus plug though. congrats on your preg! check out the mothering board mothering.com.

At this stage in your pregnancy you should call your midwife/doctor if you're unsure of anything. Don't worry about feeling silly, they probably hear that kind of stuff every day. But one thing it will do is put your mind at ease. 'kay?

Oh yes this is just the start but remember it could be a few more days yet.. babies run to your timetable.
