Its not always tinged with blood. so it may have been your mucous plug (show)...You could always check with your doctor if you are unsure but that is what it sounds like to me.

Mine was like that, no tinge...it was more yellowish. That is normal. Everyone is different. Mine was more like little globs that have come out over several days. That sounds like what you are having especially if you are already dialating. I started loosing my plug at 35 weeks...I'm now 38 weeks and 3 days.

im 32 weeks pregnant and yesterday and today I have been wiping a yellow goo. Not a huge blob but enough to see on toilet paper. It feels thick and sticky and almost sorta stretchy... Should i be worried?

I lost mine over a 6 week period. It would come out in small chunks and it was globby/slimy. Ashley I wouldn't worry about it too much. I asked my doctor when I was losing mine and she said losing your mucous plug is not an indicator at all of when you will go into labor. Mine was just an off white/yellow/gray color for the first 5 weeks or so and then the week right before I went into labor it was pink/red tinged. I wouldn't however worry yourself. I did end up having my son at 35 weeks, but he was perfectly healthy and weighed 6lbs 1oz, big for a premature baby, that's what the doc said anyway. Good luck!
