Pregnancy is the most beautiful conditionwomen. It is always accompanied by certain sensations and surprises. Every day the pregnancy pleases with new emotions. But not always everything, unfortunately, goes smoothly. There are also problems with health. But every woman tolerates steadfastly. As everyone knows, the duration of pregnancy is forty weeks. But it is likely that the birth will begin before the deadline. Since the 36th week, we can expect an early delivery.
What is cork in women in the situation? How does it look and what color is it?
A large number of women say that waiting -very tedious business. The organism is at its limit, there are all sorts of complaints, and sometimes problems with the heart, kidneys and other organs. To understand how soon delivery will take place, it is necessary to follow even the smallest secretions. On how the plug looks pregnant, the opinions are different. In every woman she is especially individual. As some people have dark brown slime with veins of yellow color. And someone looks like a yellow slime with brown patches. The exact color of the cork in a pregnant woman can be known only by the woman in position. And then only after its release.
Specifically, understand how the cork looks likepregnant women, can only be the woman who did not ignore her exit. This is due to the fact that in the process of pregnancy, a large number has thrush or other discharge, which was not there before. For this reason, it is difficult or even impossible to notice the exit of the plug.
What kind of a traffic jam?
Изначально стоит отметить, что образование пробки occurs from the moment when pregnancy begins. The cervix is very dense and enlarges. In the passage slowly slime is collected, which in the usual state constantly comes out. The formation of cork lasts throughout the period of gestation. Only before the very birth the mucous plug in the pregnant woman leaves the standard place.
The main and probably the only functionof said mucosal formation is, of course, protection. The lump appears extremely reliably protects the fetus from the penetration of various pathological bacteria and viruses.
Why do I need a cork?
Nature thought about how to maximally protect only the nascent child of the mother's womb from bad factors. And a very specific role in this case is the mucous plug.
Шейка матки между собой совмещает непосредственно the vagina and the uterine cavity. Vaginal mucosal membranes are not sterile and are normally populated with a non-pathogenic microflora. And during an inflammation there are also pathogenic bacteria. And even in women who are not in position, the cervical canal is filled with mucus, which has bactericidal properties.
During pregnancy, the protection of the fetus, placenta andother membranes - this is a very topical issue. For this reason, as soon as conception occurs, goblet-like glands of the cervix, under the influence of a huge level of hormones, it is accepted to produce a huge number of viscous mucus. It does not allow the contents from the vagina to enter the uterus.
Such mucus contains a lot of biologically active substance - prostaglandin, immunoglobulin, lysozyme and mucin, which have bactericidal properties.
Also, the extremely dense structure of the cervical mucus in the plug is a mechanical barrier and removes the pressure change in the uterine cavity. This does not allow the water to pour out before the necessary time.
A couple of weeks before the birth process in the bodywomen are very active hormonal changes. As a result, the biochemical composition of the cork of the mucous type also changes. It becomes very loose, larger in size, begins to press on the walls of the cervix, which allows you to prepare it for the birth process.
How to understand that the cork has moved away?
With a standard pregnancy, the departure of the mucous plug is one of the sure signs that soon there will be labor. They happen in just three to fifteen days.
But as such, there is no traffic jam. Every woman has it. Cork is like a dense jelly, and in the form of viscous mucus.
It also has a uniform consistency.It can have white, brown, pink, and also bloody veins. To understand the size of the cork in a pregnant woman, you can only see by eye. But the woman will see a change in the characteristic vaginal discharge.
How does the cork go out in pregnant women? The woman can understand this. It is peculiar to go out as a whole mucus lump, and parts in the form of mucus secretions.
When everything happens unnoticed? Variants of development of events
Some people do not notice how the cork goes away from the pregnant woman. This happens in the following situations:
- In the process of going to the toilet, a woman has a feeling of loss of "a small foreign body."
- When there is a discharge of amniotic fluid. At the same time, a huge amount of liquid simply removes the mucus, preventing it from lingering even in the linen.
- During examination by a gynecologist or opening of a fetal bladder, when the cork is located on the gloves of the attending physician.
Harbinger of birth
It is worth noting that a process such as a separationcorks in a pregnant woman with a large number of blood secretions, suggests that you urgently need to turn to specialists. Since this is a very serious symptom. Even considering the fact that blood can be allocated, there should not be much of it.

When does the cork go? Features of this process

In a large number of situations, when a pregnant womanthe cork went away when the doctor only gives birth. In some cases, this indicates the onset of delivery within two to ten days. It is worth saying that these terms are not accurate. There are known situations when the pregnant woman has lost a cork, and when it becomes clear it is already after a couple of hours, since the birth process begins. You need to know that the cork can stay inside right up to the moment of attempts. But this is extremely rare. In such a situation, the flow of water can completely imperceptibly wash off the slimy plug.
Also, medicine knows the situation when the cork receded and more than a month before the onset of labor. This situation is extremely dangerous. Because the fetus remains without proper protection.
How does the cork look like in a pregnant woman and how does it come out? This can explain the doctor, as he is able to go out at once, and for several days.
Since the average pregnancylasts forty weeks, then on what week the cork in the pregnant woman leaves, the doctor will say. Everyone has everything individually. Often this happens on a period of 37-38 weeks. We also need to take into account the fact that certain babies are born only at 42 weeks. This is also a normal option. In this case, the cork comes out, for example, on the fortieth week.

Like every other of the harbingers of birth,This sign can only say that the body has become actively preparing for the birth of the baby. And this event will happen in the next two or one week.
Большое количество женщин стараются узнать, что if the stopper has come off, when labor starts at the first or repeated pregnancy. Note that the number of pregnancies on the rate of development of labor after the discharge of mucus has no effect. Everyone knows that the signs of childbirth, both in women for the first time, and in those with multiple babies, actually develop in the same period of time before giving birth.
At the same time, when in the past pregnancy in a womanthe mucus plug disappeared just a week before the birth, then with the next one it may be a reliable sign that the delivery will happen in the same interval as it happened before.
