Introduction: It is normal to have leucorrhea during pregnancy, as long as it does not change color or smell. If your vaginal discharge turns green, gray, or reddish-brown, you should seek medical attention immediately because it may be infection or bleeding. However, later in pregnancy you may have jelly-like leucorrhea, which indicates that labor is imminent. 1. Which jelly-like secretion should I be concerned about? 1. Appear green-gray
If everything is normal, leucorrhea usually has a white or off-white color. But if your discharge is green or gray, it's best to consult your doctor to confirm whether you need an examination. 2. Rough and milky
Sometimes you may find that your discharge looks a bit like curds or cheese, and a bit rough, rather than fluid or thick, then it is best to consult doctor. Jelly-like leucorrhea will appear during the second trimester of pregnancy. 3. Has a strong smell

1. Cervical mucus plug
Pregnancy is here In the later stages, the mucus plug will pass through your vagina. It is a protective barrier that keeps the opening of the uterus closed from the onset of pregnancy. This prevents the fetus from coming into contact with any bacteria or infectious material that enters the uterus. 2. Appears after 36 weeks
Once your body is ready for birth, which is the final stage of pregnancy, the mucus plug will begin to relax and then be expelled from the body through the vagina. Once this happens, you will notice jelly discharge, usually after 36 weeks of pregnancy. 3. Different thicknesses
In some cases, your mucus plug may come out all at once and look like large jelly spots, stained with blood. In other cases, the mucus plug may pass slowly and look like a thick, jelly-like substance.
