Brownish discharge? (TMI)

I'll be 41 weeks along, this Friday.

Yesterday I was checked down there around 3pm for any dilation.
I was only 1cm and my cervix was really thick.
I started bleeding last night around 6-7pm and it lasted about an hour.
I called my OB to keep her updated on what was going on since it was my first bloody show. She assured me it's normal.

This morning I went to the bathroom around 6am and 7am, and there was nothing.
But now, I just went back to the bathroom and there was a gooey brown tint to my discharge. There was alot more than usual.

Could this be the start of losing my Mucus plug?
I really don't know what it means, it's probably normal.
But I just wanted to ask you ladies to be sure.

Thanks in advance!

I had a slight green color to the discharge when I lost my mucus plug (such a disgusting word!) and it was really thick and slimy so it could be the start of it. Hope this helps a little.

That's probably old blood from your cervical check yesterday. 

I never lost my plug last time but from what I've heard, you'll know it when you see it.

I agree, it's probably old blood coming out with some discharge.  Brown = old blood.  It certainly could be part of your MP coming loose.  If you lost the whole thing you would definitely know it.  If you continue to lose it you will probably know it as well as it's a different consistency than then usual discharge, but it's possible to just lose a little bit of it at a time.  Sounds totally normal though.  It's nothing that I would be concerned about.

Hopefully things start for you soon!  GL!
