mucus plug

So last night I woke up from awful cramping I tried to go back to sleep I couldn't so I had a yogurt an then went to the bathroom but when I wiped there was this yellow sticky discharge but it was a small amount each time I wiped.  Could that be my plug starting to come out?

you can loose chunks of your mucus plug without any blood at all, but at the same time it doesn't matter how much you loose unless theres blood because your mucus plug just regenerates & gets back the little that it lost

It could be because you can loose bits of it over a period of time. Usually there will be streaks of blood in the "discharge" but not always!! If your wondering if its your mucus plug you can always ask your doctor to check you at your next appointment they will be able to tell you yes or no better then we will :) How far along are you???

That could be your plug. Some ppl lose it all and some (like me) lose it pieces at a time.

With my first child I lost my plug and it had blood mixed with it but I googled some pictures and it doesn't always have blood.

No your mucus plug has some blood in it. The discharge is normal but your mucus plug will be mixed with that discharge and a lil bit of blood and it will be a big clot
I freaked out my first pregnancy because of my mucus plug lol
