mucus plug

I am 21 weeks today, and noticed some gel like mucus hanging out of me when I used the bathroom.  I am not sure what it could have been?  Me and hubby did have sex twice in one day, but it was gel like and wasn't wet.  Any advice of what this could be?

Your mucous can look like what youre describing. The closer you get to your due date, your cervix begins to shed more mucous and it can be stringy and clumpy as well as change colors from white/clear/yellow. It is all in preparation for the real deal. I think since you are 21wks this is what you are experiencing but speak to your doctor if you think its really your mucous plug.
