Your mucous plug is usually clear/cream, similar to EWCM. Sometimes it can have blood streaks through it.

If you see bright red blood (usually closer to birth itself) then its your bloody show.]]> Tue, 16 Nov 2010 00:08:38 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36447&PID=1200925&title=mucous-plug-vs-discharge#1200925 <![CDATA[Mucous plug vs. discharge : urgh I would make a hopeless nurse/doctor...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=36447&PID=1200740&title=mucous-plug-vs-discharge#1200740 Author: Emmecat

I'm now pretty sure it is - it's been fairly constant today and is either jelly or snot-like Haven't had anything like this before in the PG.

Like I had blown my nose in my pants! I had it for coming away for 24 hours 5 days before finally going into labour and it was only the last little bit that had any blood streaking so I wasnt sure until then it was my plug.

I then had a massive glob of it a few hours into labour that looked more like the blood streaked stuff you read about.
