It sounds like your plug to me. I`ve been losing my plug for a week and a half now. LOL, It can range from brown to clear to pink to blood streaked(bloody show). Mine was either stringy like a childs runny nose(I know~~ gross TMI) or like snot when you have a cold. Definitely would recomend calling your dr to let them know. Mine had me in to check my cervical length and now I get nst`s twice a week(I`m almost 34wks)

Hey Jess the mucus plug isnt alot lot more than the discharge you are gettin at least this is what i have read... your supposed to be getting more discharge when your pregnant it is normal... yes alot more than you used to. it had me worried and i checked with a midwife and did my research hope this helps its from the site: http://www.bellybelly.com.au/articles/pregnancy/mucous-plug-show. :During pregnancy, your cervix secretes mucous which forms a thick mucous plug. This plug forms on the cervix and it’s purpose is to prevent any bacteria getting into the uterus – like an added layer of protection for your baby. The mucous plug (medical term is operculum, i.e. plug in opening) is usually is cloudy or clear in colour, thick and sticky – some women describe it looking like a glob of semen or ‘snot’ or a mix of both! When your cervix begins to thin and dilate at the end of your pregnancy, there may be some slight blood loss due to small capilaries breaking from the movement. The blood then gets caught up in the mucous and this is why it’s also called ‘a bloody show’ as the mucous becomes blood stained. During the last couple of weeks of pregnancy or up until labour itself, the plug will start to come away so the baby can pass through the cervix. Some women do not even notice their plug expelling as there is already an increase in normal cervical mucous due to hormones. The mucous plug often comes away like a continuous stringy discharge – sometimes it can actually resemble a plug. Some women do not see their mucous plug until well into labour – I was 5 centimetres dilated and it wasn’t until my waters had broken before I saw it:
