No it doesn't have to be bloody.


Here's some info for you:
Is it my imagination or do I have a lot more vaginal discharge now?
It's not your imagination. It's quite common to have more vaginal discharge during pregnancy. What you're noticing is probably normal leukorrhea — the odorless or mild-smelling milky fluid discharge that you occasionally found in your underwear before you were pregnant. There's just a lot more of it now, partly because of increased estrogen production and greater blood flow to the vaginal area. This discharge is made up of secretions from the cervix and vagina, old cells from the walls of the vagina, and normal bacterial flora from the vagina.

You'll probably notice more vaginal discharge as you approach labor, though it's likely to look somewhat different from the flow you've become accustomed to. In very early pregnancy, cervical secretions filled your cervical canal and created a protective barrier — the so-called mucus plug. As your cervix begins to efface (thin out) and dilate, it may expel this mucus, and you'll notice discharge that looks like egg white or mucus from a runny nose on a cold day. Or, you may even expel the plug in one gelatinous glob. This discharge might be tinged with a bit of blood.

Sounds like your mucus plug

Re: another question i nedd an answer to asap.. mucus plug?

sounds like your plug. Mine was not bloody.

Re: another question i nedd an answer to asap.. mucus plug?

I lost some of mine exactly like that about 2 weeks before without blood, then more came out a few days before and it was bloody.

You are close!
