first, im 38 weeks, and i started having braxton hicks contractions last week(on weds.) and then from what i remember, saturday i went pee and there was alot of thick,stringy off white-yellowish discharge on the t.p., and off and on since that day ive been having it and this morning, there was alot more than ive had so far, and this time it looked like snot from the nose, only thicker.. my braxton hicks are coming sooner and sooner now as well, but i dont know if that has anything to do with it.. ive notice when i cramp too, i go pee and theres more discharge. Ive also been having diarrhea ALOT past 3 weeks now, and its coming more and more frequently..
does anyone know what that discharge could be, and if the BH had anything to do with it? also, with the diarrhea?? this is my first baby, so i dont know what to expect!

It's part of your plug, it looks like a clump of snot. You can lose it all at once, or little be little. I started losing mine at 29 weeks, it was yellow at first, but then started to have a little blood in it. By 36 weeks my doctor said it was gone. I had the baby at 38 weeks.
The loose bowels probably mean labor is going to be soon. Your body is ceansing itself.

Diarrhea could be a sign that labor is soon. And the discharge sounds like your mucus plug. I bet labor isnt too far away for you!!!
Im 36 wks and my bh HURT!
Everything sounds normal, how exciting for you! Just make sure you rest up these next days and get ready for baby!!
I hope your labor and delivery are blessed.

I asked a question similar to yours a little while ago. The stringly substance sounds like it is definitely your mucous plug. The diharrea is very natural as the baby engages into your pelvis and puts added pressure on your bowels. It sounds like you're in the early stages of labor, so I would be cautious of contractions!

That's your mucous plug, when means you're getting *really* close to having your baby! The relation between BH and losing your plug is that you're nearing your delivery date. The loose BMs or feeling of pressure down there are due to the late stage of your pregnancy and the baby "dropping"- going into position for delivery. All very normal at your late stage.
Best wishes!

Sounds like your mucus plug, if your contraction are 5 minutes apart, you might want to call your doctor, sounds like your going into labor. I always went to the ER when my contractions were 5 minutes apart and they kept me their until the baby was born, usually i was already dilated to 5cm.
God bless

Its normal. As long as there is no smell and it isnt enough to soak your undies.
