contractions?

OK tomorrow I'll be 26 weeks. I believe I lost my mucus plug yesterday. Then afterwards my stomach would get really tight then go back to normal. I assumed these were contractions and called my doctor. He blew me off and said there was no way since its only 26 weeks...should I listen to him or be worried?

It was a lot! Like a lot more than a normal discharge. And I felt it I know tmi and sounds weird but I felt it and that's what worried me. It wasn't pink or red but whiteish yellow tinted

How much was there? When you lose your mucus plug, it's about 1/3 to 1/2 cup.

If you dont feel right about it go to the er and get monitor. Thats what they tell me. That we know our bodies better then anyone else so if you dont feel right then you never know unless you get checked. Better safe then sorry. My sister told her doctor she was leaking water for weeks then when they tried to broke her water there was nothing left and she was up set about it.

I get discharge like that, it tends to happen the day after I have sex with my husband. If contractions are not regular I wouldn't worry. It's normal to have Braxton Hicks at 26 weeks.

Yes like jelly and tmi but kinda like snot. I was worried because my doc just blew me off like it wasn't possible when I know it is. He basically said I was overreacting and it wasn't an emergency till there was blood
