Mucus question....(sorry this is my first pregnancy)

Ok ladies so I went to the bathroom just a moment a go and noticed a little mucus kind of like the one you get when you are ovulating. I had it yesterday too but it wasn't as much as today...should I be concerned? What does this mean exactly? Sorry but this is my first pregnancy and I'm a little cluless on this kind of stuff.

Any  feedback will be great.

Yup..normal. If it is your plug and labor is not near, then it will rebuild itself. No worries! Just like everyone else said, if it's tinged with blood, then it's time to call because more than likely it's changing your cervix. That's what I am waiting for again.

You might be, but I believe that's OK at this stage.  If it becomes bloody then it's time to call your dr.

I've been passing a ton of mucus also. It's very normal it's just the bodys way of getting ready for baby. If your body isn't ready yet the plug will rebuild itself. :) Sometimes it can be an indication of your cervix starting to thin out or dialate.

I get that after I have sex.   If it's not bloody or pinkish then I don't think you have anything to worry about.  You can still get changing CM occasionally while pregnant.  Also your discharge will increase the closer you get towards your due date.
