Placenta Previa

Normally, as the uterus begins to expand to provide more room for your baby, the placenta moves upward but away from the cervix. If it doesn't move away, it may be blocking the opening of the cervix. This is known as placenta previa.

How much mucous plug is there?

Asked by Wiki User

I think it all depends. Ive read that some women loose theirs all at once and its about the lenght of 1/2 their middle finger and others[like me] loose it over the course of days or weeks and then small clumps here and there. I wear pads [which are obviously white] to get a better idea of everything Im leaking or passing. Im currently 37 weeks and having alot of pain and irregular braxton hicks that act up all day long so Im hoping my body will give in real soon! With my first pregnancy I lost my mucous plug at the hospital after my water had already broke. It was about the size of a quater. With my second son I believe it was about the same size but came a few weeks before delivery so now Im just waiting to see how this goes. Mine was also green all three pregnancies and the other day it had a lil blood in it but with the other two babies I never noticed any other color.

How soon does your mucous plug form?

Asked by Wiki User

It starts forming as soon as the blastocyst (5 day old baby cells) implants in the uterus. The implantation process causes the release of hormones that tells your body to start changing itself to support the new life, one of the first changes being that your cervix will develop a mucus plug. Good luck!

Why has your period lasted 8 days heavy but with no clots?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The average menstrual period lasts around 5-7 days but a little longer than that is not unusual - if it lasts over 14 days then it's recommended to see a doctor. Your menstrual flow isn't supposed to have clots, most of the lumps seen in menstrual flow is larger pieces of uterine lining, they're not always present.
