Your water breaking and losing your plug are two different things. The plug should be sticky like thick snot and normally will be anywhere from clear/white to yellow/green booger color and maybe even streaked with blood. It's also only about 3TBSP worth of gunk

Your water (amniotic fluid) should Never be colored like that, and will be a Lot more! If it's colored at all or smells anything  it sweet call your OB right away and head to he nearest L&D and tell them what happens.  Color/smell amount of water

I always say this---  losing the mucus plug was NOT what I expected.  I expected one event and a plug.  LOL  It happened over many days and agree, it was jelly like and more like just colorful discharge.  Lots of colors---  pink, orange, yellow.  So, yes.  You could be losing your plug.  good luck

It could be. Jelly looking? When my water broke, it didn't stop. First trickled out and became heavier.
