Hi, is the mucus plug developing in pregnancy beneficial for fetus or not? I haven’t read about it in books for pregnant women, so I am interested to know.
Hi, when you get pregnant you will have a new up-close-and-personal discovering of your body. Still, it is strange that you haven’t heard of the mucus plug before, as your healthcare practitioner should have mentioned this to you. The mucus plug is an accumulation of secretions formed within the opening to the uterus. It is actually the cervical canal, where the mucus plug is formed. The mucus has protective role, as it forms barrier against infection between the outside world and your growing baby.
Why am I discharging my mucus plug (not bloody) for the pass 3 weeks? I'm 33 weeks pregnant. How long does this last?
