Hello and welcome,
This may be the cervical mucus plug that gets expelled before labor begins. It causes a red brown sticky mucoid discharge that may last for a few hours to days before labor begins.
If the discharge increases or there is blood, or the baby does not move well enough or there is pain in the back or the abdomen, then you will need to see your Ob.
Hope this helps. Best of luck and wish you a safe pregnancy and delivery.
Thanks for using HCM.
Feel free to ask any more questions that you may have.
