mucus plug?!

I'm only 33&4weeks. I have been loosing white mucusy stringy something... Could it be mucus plug? It happens a little every other day for a week or so... Confused. I have no itching, no irritation with my vagina. Its not a yeast infection, I have already had 2. Is it just white discharge or plug

Thanks ladies. I am having really constant BH contractions. They are all day long. And with losing this much mucusy stuff I'll definitely be talking to my midwife. Do you think she will check for dilation at 34wks? I had to be induced with my son so all this is new, never had any pains or discharge at all

I don't remember it with any of my other pregnancies either but this time at 30 weeks I had the same thing and my midwife told me that it could be mucus plug and I was a finger tip dilated with I never dilated on my own either but she said that the mucus plug would grow back to protect the baby if true labor wasn't going to happen on its own

Yeah I don't remember loosing my plug with my first either.. Never saw anything and never had this white mucus problem either. Im only 33 weeks should I be worried? I have an Appt Wednesday I'll have to ask about it.

White clear mucus is not ur plug it's just mucus from ur cervix thinning! When u loose ur plug it will be a clump of booger looking mucus with a little blood streaks in it! I thought I lost mine wks ago and I asked my doc and he corrected me! I don't remember loosing it with my first but I know for sure I lost mine the other day it was very distinctive!
