The discharge of jelly discharge during late pregnancy is known as cervical mucus plug. Usually labor will be imminent in about 2 to 3 days after the appearance of this jelly discharge, but in a small number of pregnant women, it may take about 7 days to give birth.
The cervix slowly softens and shortens when the pregnant woman reaches the late stage of pregnancy due to frequent false contractions and the body’s secretion of substances such as hysteronin. This leads to dilatation of the cervical canal, which in turn causes the mucus plug of the cervical canal to be dislodged into the vagina, manifesting itself as a jelly-like discharge.
After the appearance of jelly-like discharge in late pregnancy, most pregnant women give birth 2 to 3 days after the appearance of this jelly-like discharge, and some pregnant women will not go into labor until about 7 days, jelly-like discharge is not a sign of labor.
Pregnant women can observe whether there is redness, water breakage or regular contractions, especially after persistent and painful contractions, you need to go to the hospital immediately.
When jelly-like discharge is discharged in late pregnancy, pregnant women should pay attention to observing their physical condition and do regular fetal heartbeat monitoring checkups, and go to the hospital as soon as any of the above reactions occurs.
