yes you get discharge. It was most likely part of all of your mucus plug. which will be followed by a bloody show and the breaking waters. Some women miss all three of those events though.
But you're definitly on your way into labor some time soon.

That is just what is called your "mucus plug" it's whats keeps the cervix opening "plugged up". That may mean that you are going to have your baby soon. For most pregnant women, their mucus plug comes out early, and for some it comes out a few days or weeks before they have the baby. But it doesn't necessarily mean that your going to have the baby. Its just a coincidence that when someone is close to having the baby, their mucus plug comes out and then they have the baby within days or a few weeks. Everyone is different thats all. For instance, when i was pregnant, my mucus plug came out 2 weeks before my due date, and i ended up having my daughter 5 days late.
Just be careful. And should i suggest that you don't take baths. only showers just incase your waterbag breaks and you go into labor, you will know if you are standing up. (For some like myself, your water won't break until your a few centimeters and already in the hospital. i was 3 cm when mine broke.)
HOPE THIS HELPED!! GOOD LUCK & CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY!

It is your cervix dialating and it releases your Mucus Plug which is like a cork, for your cervix, well, when your cervix opens, it sheds the plug and usually it is streaked with blood, so just know that your body is working great, and is well- underway with early labor.. Congrats! Now it could be hours, days, weeks or a month until the big day happens.

Sounds like your mucous plug. It could be hours, days, or even a week, but you are making progress. That means your cervix is dilating!! Not all women will see the plug, sometimes it comes out in pieces. WIth my oldest, I lost my plug 5 days before I went into labor. Never saw it with the second, and still watching with this one.

it's normal to have more discharge during pregnancy. it was most likely your mucus plug. that means baby could come in a day...or it could still be another 2 weeks...everyone's different so just wait for the contractions to start and head out to the hospital

That would be your mucus plug breaking down, when that happened to me I had my son the following morning, but all the books say it can happen up to 2 weeks before delivering. Good luck to you.

Yes, it's called a plug, looks like a chunk of mucus with blood streaks

I also have a stringy discharge and intensely uncomforting belly soreness. the release does not have an scent yet does seem to be with the aid of ovulation yet my project is the belly soreness? is it commonplace for belly soreness to take place in the time of ovulation? additionally i spotted the release final night and a pair hours later my feonce and that i had intercourse dont recognize if that has something to do with it or no longer yet thought i might throw that in the time of there. help!

You're losing your mucus plug. That means it's almost time for you to go to the hospital as soon as the contractions come regularly.
