How do I know it's the mucus plug and not vaginal discharge?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4028\" data-end=\"4031\" \/>The mucus plug is tough and sticky, often colored in pink or brown - discharge is thinner and whiter.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4133\" data-end=\"4249\"><strong data-start=\"4133\" data-end=\"4176\">2. Does it hurt when the mucus plug comes off?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4176\" data-end=\"4179\" \/>No, you rarely feel it. You may only notice it when you wipe yourself.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4251\" data-end=\"4344\"><strong data-start=\"4251\" data-end=\"4289\">3. Can the slime plug come off in parts?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4289\" data-end=\"4292\" \/>Yes, it can come out gradually over several days.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4346\" data-end=\"4484\"><strong data-start=\"4346\" data-end=\"4399\">4. What does it mean if the mucus plug has blood in it?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4399\" data-end=\"4402\" \/>A small amount of old blood is normal, but fresh blood should always be checked.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4486\" data-end=\"4644\"><strong data-start=\"4486\" data-end=\"4544\">5. Do I have to call the birth center when the mucus plug has broken?<\/strong><br data-start=\"4544\" data-end=\"4547\" \/>Not if you are fine and not bleeding freshly. Wait for other signs such as contractions or water breaking.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"4646\" data-end=\"4759\"><strong data-start=\"4646\" data-end=\"4681\">6.
