Q: Mucus Plug??

Today is my due date, last night I noticed some clear, thick discharge on my panty liner, and this morning there was even more of it. Could this be my mucus plug? With my first the plug was very green and this is very clear so I'm not sure what to think? Any ideas?

Usually, the color of mucus plug is white-yellowish, sometimes with blood admixture or streaks of pink or pure white. There can be some variants including beige, taupe or even brown mucus plug. All these colors are considered as variants of the norm.
The blood streaks in the plug can be observed rather often since the uterine cervix expands before labor and that can lead to bursting of capillaries. Still, there shouldn’t be any bleeding. If passing the plug is accompanied by rather heavy blood-tinged discharge of scarlet color, then you should contact your doctor immediately.

Congratulations!
I think that yes it sure is your mucous plug that you have been observing for a couple of days. Your due date justifies the same. This mucuous plug generally has different color, clear in some woman ranging to a pale yellow or off-white. This generally comes of on or around the dat of your due date. So yes, it is pretty obvious now that you are about to move into labor real soon. Do not stress, and assess the situation calmly.

Sounds like your plug! It can range in coloration, but very very thick. GL
