OK- so usually I don't post questions like this because I'm embarrassed...however the Internet can be an evil thing when trying to self diagnose yourself lol.

for the past 2 weeks I've been having yellow snotty looking discharge. Some days more than others. I just figured it was normal.... no blood...

I've had to wear pantyliner for like 2 months now due to regular clear discharge.. but over the past couple of weeks it kind of smells and some days looks just like snot.

Is this normal? Could I be losing my mucus plug slowly in pieces? (I never lost my mucus plug with my son)

Should I call the doc tomorrow......

I feel gross...... lol

Thanks!!

You pretty much know it when you lose it.

I lost a huge chunk of mine with Nick and it never smelled. Sounds like you might need to get checked for an infection just to be on the  safe side.

I hope its not your mucus plug this early!

Sounds like what I've heard some ladies describe when they had Bacterial Vaginosis.  A call to the doctor would probably be a good idea.

That sounds exactly like what I had with my first ever infection...

Yea, i would call your doc just to be safe. You may have some kind of bacteria in there causing that. The quicker you get it taken care of the better. Don't be embarassed it's normal but sounds like more of an infection vs. your mucous plug.

Have you been having more sex than usual lately.  I know that for me if I have sex at least once a day after about two days a get a huge yellowish blob that comes out and yeah it does have a mild funky odor.  Once I cut him off for a day or two then it goes back to the normal prego discharge.  But if it does bother you then ask your Doc about it.

Uh, your discharge shouldn't smell, or be colored like that.  (I'm in OB right now, so this stuff is fresh.  I know more about cervical discharge than I ever cared to.)

Call your doc, if nothing else, better safe than sorry.  Your cervical mucus is meant to protect the baby & uterus form infection, & if it's infected, then you can have a PROM (premature rupture of membranes.)

Doctor.  Call. 'K?  (hugs)
