You may pass your mucus plug — the small amount of thickened mucus that has sealed your cervical canal during the last nine months — if your cervix begins to efface significantly or dilate as you get close to labor. Droppings as signs of labor, also known as lightening, occurs when the baby descends into the pelvis.
You may experience a subtle downward shift in the baby’s position or you may notice an obvious “drop” of your belly. You may not notice anything at all. Second time moms will often not notice dropping until the onset of active labor.
The plug may come out in a lump or as increased vaginal discharge over the course of several days.
