I think I'm starting to lose my mucous plug???

I think I lost part of my mucous plug??? But I'm not 100% sure.  This may be TMI but when I went to pee this morning, I had a pretty big clump of gelatin like discharge... then when I wiped I had some more. There was no blood in it at all. I'm almost 32 weeks nows. I immediately googled it and I read that you can lose your mucous plug gradually instead of all at once and it can happen weeks before labor occurs, has this happened to anyone else? Maybe I'm wrong and it's just another symptom of pregnancy but it was enough to be alarmed...

I think what you read it right, so I wouldn't worry about it too much.

I read that if you lose your mucus plug too early the body will often "regenerate" a new one to keep the cervix closed off. But if you're worried about it, you should call your OB's office just to ask.

Since there wasn't any blood I wouldn't worry too much, but I would probably call my doctor's office on Monday just to give them a heads up.
