In the later stages of pregnancy, the secretion changes its consistency and appearance. The woman’s discharge increases and she has to use panty liners. This is a physiologically normal state, as the pregnant woman’s body is preparing for childbirth. The mucus becomes liquid and transparent.
A few weeks before the expected birth, a dense clot of white-yellow hue appears. This is a mucus plug. The birth process begins within 7 days after its passage.
If a woman develops brown or bloody mucus in the later stages, she should immediately consult a doctor, as the blood may be due to placental abruption or premature birth.
In case of deviations from the norm, the gynecologist prescribes a treatment regimen. There are antibiotics that can be taken during pregnancy. Lack of treatment leads to miscarriage or fetal death.
