Week 39 - You are Going the Distance!
Keep your eye out for your mucus plug, if you haven't lost it already. Many women lose this thick, brown, slippery discharge just before they go into labor (although other women lose it earlier in their third trimester, and others lose it gradually over several weeks and never notice it). It has sealed your cervix and acted as a barrier, protecting your little one from bacteria and infections from the outside world. Its loss is another way your body is preparing for labor and delivery!
