Yes,it is normal for pregnant women to
have more discharge than normal.I have
heard of it coming way earlier though.Good
luck!

Hi there! When I was about thirty eight
weeks along also, I had a lot of discharge
for a period of a couple of days. What I
had been told by many friends was that you
actually have a "mucus plug" that you can
lose shortly (or I would assume should be
shortly) before you are to give birth. I
am guessing some women don't lose it, I am
not a doctor, so I can't tell you all the
details, but I believe this is what
happened to me. I was 2 centimeters
dilated from 36 weeks on, I am sure they
will check this at your next appt. I
don't know if being dilated like that had
something to do with this discharge. It
was extremely thick when this happened to
me. Also, I was on my feet working the
whole pregnancy, I don't know how active
you are but perhaps i'm just guessing this
could have contributed to me losing my
"plug" good luck with your delivery and I
am sure everything is fine!

Your mucus plug is very thick and
greenish(eew) but losing it doesn't mean
you will soon go into labor.For my sister
it took her 8 hours after she lost her
plug.For my older sister it took a
week.Everyone is different

How soon after my mucus plug passes will
labor begin?
Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your
cervix is dilating and your body is
starting to prepare for birth. Labor
could be hours, days, or even weeks away
as the cervix gradually opens over time.
What does a mucus plug look like?
A mucus plug may be clear, slightly pink
or blood tinged in color. It may be
stringy mucus or sticky discharge. Some
women may not even notice the loss of
their mucus plug because there is already
so much vaginal discharge during
pregnancy.

As long as your discharge isnt a funny
colour or smells its ok but your bound to
get an increased discharge throughout your
pregnancy anyway
