Losing mucus plug at week 17?

i think i lose some mucus plug when i was pooping. Been using quite a bit of force when pooping yest and today as im constipated. And today i saw yellow gooey discharge coming out after pooping. Its different from the usual discharge. I know mucus plug will regenerate, but do i need to see my gynae asap? No contraction or leaking fluid at the moment, but im worried. Anyone experienced early loss of mucus plug and continue to have healthy baby? I hope its not preterm labour 😞

the last time i experienced something similar and during a gynae visit i asked about this. gynae thinks its more likely the body is trying to protect the area down below. so more discharge is produced to ensure the tract is healthy. if you're concerned can bring up to gynae during the next visit :)

doubt it’s mucus plug, probably just some discharge
