TMI question about internal exam and plug
So I went for my 36 week exam yesterday and my OB did an internal and told me I was 1cm and 50% effaced. I know you can be like that forever before anything actually starts happening. She told me it was normal to spot after the exam....but I didn't bleed until this morning/afternoon, and the exam was at 4pm yesterday.
I feel like there was more discharge today....and after awhile some of the discharge was in little clumps almost like jello. Is this part of my mucus plug? Do you think its due just to the exam....or there is some progress happening? I will be 37 weeks on sun....so I know anything can go after that point.

TMI question about internal exam and plug
I have had 2 internals so far. I was 0cm the first time and 2cm on Monday. I haven't noticed any bleeding, but I have definitely noticed more discharge. I think it's just what happens at the end! I would call if you are having bleeding. My doctor said to always call for bleeding!

i know she said the spotting was normal. But not sure if the jello discharge was from the exam or part of my plug

Even if it's your plug, it's totally normal and there's nothing your dr will do about it. But most likely it wasn't your plug. The exam probably just loosened some mucus, which took time to come out.

Re: TMI question about internal exam and plug
Totally normal. I have had more discharge now that I'm further along. Every time my doctor does an internal he warns me that I might see some blood with discharge. I haven't seen any blood but a huge increase of discharge.

Ahh good to know. I figured that's what it was. I was just making sure it wasn't my plug. Because I'm not ready yet! Lol
