Currently just over 9 weeks pg.
When I went to the toilet and wiped this morning, I noticed a "chunk" on the toilet paper.
Could it be a part of my mucous plug that has dislodged? or just a kind of chunkier discharge? I haven't had any bleeding or anything else sinister.
The only way I can describe it (sorry TMI) is that it was like something that would come out of your nose when you haven't blown your nose in a while!

Anything to be worried about?
I had a mmc last year and the baby measured 9 weeks, so just stressing slightly....

You'll find your CM increases while you are pregnant, I wore liners most of my pregnancy so what you're describing sounds normal to me.

I've had the whole kit and caboodle with CM. I had everything tested too. It's all normal. It's called leukkhorea and is just another wonderful by product of increased blood flow and progesterone. I have to wear liners everyday. Some days it's thicker. Some days it's thinner. Once I even had a gush of it but went to the doc to check whether I lost the plug and I was fine. It's just my normal. It's gross but worth it in the end!
