What Causes Yellow Vaginal Discharge During 36th Week Of Pregnancy?
Hello, I m 36 weeks pregnant, I m dilated 2cm already and I just lost my mucus plug yesterday morning, I m sort of worried because I m having a lot of yellow discharge that sort of looks like the mucus plug, I don t know if I should go to the hospital or if this is normal and I cannot get ahold of my doctor

Hello,
Increased vaginal secretions are normal with pregnancy. On the other hand, because you have lost the mucus plug and are dilated 2 cm, it is best to see your doctor because you are at increased risk of infection and quick treatment or labor induction might be needed in this case.
I hope this answers your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
