I wouldn't worry. Your plug can regenerate

Don't worry about it.
It grows back

It regenerates.. Unless there is blood in it, there is no need to worry
I started losing it at 28 weeks with my first, 31 with my second

I wouldn't worry if it is infact your plug...but if it isnt your plug the "yellow" part of the discharge could possibly raise concern. If your having cramping you need to atleast call and talk to your doctor your cervix could be having changes to it that is causing your plug to come out. Call your OB and see what they say!

Then see your OB/midwife?
But cramping is normal in the third trimester.. Your body is getting ready. My cramps and braxton hicks have been far more uncomfortable this time versus the first
