ew could you imagine - a plug picture thread!!!
In order to help prevent infection getting inside your womb to the baby, a mucus plug develops in the canal of the cervix, blocking the way into your uterus. Towards the end of pregnancy as your cervix ripens (and opens up a little) for delivery this plug comes away. It is jellylike, streaked with blood and can come away in one big grape sized plug or as ''discharge'' when you wipe yourself. It does not mean that labour has started or is about to, nor will it harm your baby by coming away. The baby is still surrounded by a bag of fluid (amniotic fluid)for protection.
