Don't mean to worry you but i would defo call hospital. They can then take a look and are best placed to decide if what you are experiencing is normal or not. I was told at my classes if this happened to call the hospital just in case. Join now to personalise. Hello Everyone, I just went to the toilet and think i have lost my mucus plug. Never heard of it being green and am worried.
Anyone got any advise? Normal pregnancy discharge tends to be thin, mild smelling, and clear or milky white. Discharge from a yeast infection is usually yellow or white, thick, and chunky like cottage cheese.
Bacterial vaginosis produces fishy-smelling discharge that's most noticeable after sex, while other forms of yellow, green, or foul-smelling discharge could signal an STD. See your doctor if you suspect any type of vaginal infection.
Losing the mucus plug sometimes gets confused with the unpleasantly-named "bloody show," which sounds like a horror movie but is also a totally normal early labor sign.
It can sometimes mean that labor is closer, compared to if you are only seeing mucus. Bloody show may also be more blood than mucus, explains Dr. VanBlaricom, and even have a flow like a period. And because bloody show can represent more advanced changes in your cervix, she recommends calling your doctor, especially if you are preterm or have other pregnancy-related complications. If you see discharge that is green or yellow and smells unpleasant, you may have an infection.
Other warning signs include itchiness or soreness in and around your vagina and pain when you urinate. You can lose a piece or part of your mucus plug at any time during your pregnancy, but it may regenerate. While the mucus plug is most commonly lost late in the third trimester as you approach labor, you can lose it sooner. Any situation that makes the cervix dilate, such as cervical incompetence or preterm labor , may be the cause.
Be sure to mention any possible loss of mucus plug or other concerns to your doctor. Try your best to note the consistency, color, volume, and other important details or symptoms to help with identification. In cases of early dilation, your doctor may prescribe bed rest or a procedure like a cerclage to stitch the cervix shut and allow the mucus plug to regenerate and stay in place.

Remember: Vaginal discharge is common in pregnancy. You may even experience spotting and bleeding and go on to have a healthy pregnancy. This may be a sign of miscarriage. Other signs of miscarriage include cramping or pain in your abdomen or lower back.
Tissue or fluid coming out of your vagina is another symptom to be on the lookout for. If you do see tissue, try collecting it in a clean container so your doctor can have it analyzed. Related: Everything you need to know about miscarriage. As you near delivery, it may indicate more.
Your doctor or midwife has likely heard any and all questions related to cervical mucus, mucus plugs, and other weird pregnancy quirks. It can be an all-at-once clump or a steady, slimy release over days. Simply put, it looks like snot. It is quite similar to the mucus that comes out of your nose, with somewhat of the same purpose and immune system factors.
It normally matches the colour of healthy snot, clear or milky, as opposed to the fluorescent green of a sinus infection. The mucus plug can also be yellow or green tinged, and does not mean that there in an infection present. Commonly, the plug passes with red or pink streaks, or even like a bloody, gelatinous mass.
This is generally a good sign as it indicates that your cervix is changing. As your cervix softens and begins to dilate, small blood vessels break down at the site of the cervix, creating some bleeding or spotting. Brown mucus in the plug is often older blood and of no concern.
