Mucous plug?

When I went 2 the bathroom I noticed on my underwear something that looked a bit like snot (gross) it didn't have any blood in it and I read that not all have blood in their mucous plugs.  Is this just increased discharge?  Or is it perhaps a little of my mucous plug?

It could be the plug. It still may take weeks for labor and the bloody show will come closer to that day when the blood vessels ruptures as it dilates and should only take a day or 2 from there

You can lose your mucus plug tiny bits throughout pregnancy.  You usually don't notice it at all.  And it does regenerate, unless it's "time" lol.
