Dr. Jeff Livingston answered

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Common : As your cervix starts to dilate most people will begin passing their mucous plug. This can look brown or yellow and gooey. Schedule a visit with your OB for a cervical exam. If there is bleeding you should head to the hospital.
