does this look like part of the mucus plug to you?
Tomorrow I am 35 weeks and I think i just lost part of my mucus plug. The last two days i’ve had intense lower back pain and some cramping (much more than i’ve been normally experiencing). Woke in the middle of the night last night and there was a bit of brown discharge when i wiped. and this morning I’ve been experiencing some intense lower abdominal pain/cramping. please give me your advice/opinions. I had an OB appointment yesterday and they are aware of the pain, just looking for other mom’s take on the situation before i call and tell them i lost part of my mucus plug and wanted to provide other context of my experience.

The mucus plug is more greenish, and my experience was I lost it for weeks. It regenerates and isn't a sign of labor. Now when you get a bunch of the mucus with blood tinge too it then it's most likely gor time for you soon. I know this is really common to say. But drink more water. I was drinking what I felt like a lot and when I went into LD they did 2 IV bags to hydrate me and my cramping stopped pretty quick.
It could be, I would call OB I had my second born at 36 weeks. So you never know.
Call the OB it looks like the August plug cause mine was that color
I'd say it's just discharge. You can also lose mucus plug for weeks before going into labour.
