Mucus Plug Discharge at 13 Weeks: What to Do?
QuestionHi i am a 41 yr old that has had two previous miscarriages at the 6 week mark and i have a 10 yr old daughter. I am 13 weeks pregnant and have had 3 ultrasounds at the 6, 9 and 12 week mark and they all looked promising. But yesterday i had a yellow tinged jelly type discharge and again today a glob of it as well. I am worried this is the mucus plug and henceforth will soon experience a miscarriage. Can you shed any light?
thanks for your time. I am booked in to see my doctor tomorrow.

AnswerThroughout your pregnancy, you will have mucus discharge (jelly like). This is not the release of the mucus plug. As long as the baby has a good heartbeat and is adequately growing, you need not worry (unless you notice fluid leaking from your vagina).
