39 weeks / mucus ?

Alright, I'm 39 weeks pregnant with my first so I'm sorry if I sound uneducated... For the past week I've been losing my mucus plug.. like constantly... How much mucus is there suppose to be cause it seems like a lot :/... And for the past 24 hours I've been having a lot of discharge (which I know is normal in pregnancy), but today I went to the bathroom and from the time I pulled down my pants to sitting on the toilet, I got yellow slimy stuff everywhere (on the seat , my pants, etc)... Is that yellow stuff mucus?, or should I get checked ?...

I would say mucus plug especially since you're 39 weeks. Also your plug regenerates so there is no set amount. I know tmi but if its like a bouggie then its plug. If its like you're peeing your pants its either pee or amniotic fluid.

Congrats on the little girl!! I can imagine if I went into labor during the superbowl my fiance probably would've made us take a portable tv with us to take in car so he could at least listen to it while he was driving lol.
