A member asked:

16 weeks pregnant...is it normal for a lil mucas or discharge to happen?? whats the diff. frm mucas plug nd dischrge??

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mucous or fluid: If it is mucous, then that is usually normal. If it is fluid leaking that is not normal and your OB MD needs to know immediately. It is probably a good idea to call their office and ask this question.
