Check out this chart on cervix dilation. You might lose your mucus plug entirely. Or, it can be lost in small amounts.
If this is the case, you might not even notice it. Discharge can also increase at the end of pregnancy, and the mucus plug can be a part of that.
During my time as a hospital labor and delivery nurse, some of the most common phone calls we answered were about the mucus plug. Women wondered if losing it meant they needed to come in right away. They also wanted to know what to do with it. One woman even brought hers to the hospital in a plastic baggie. I can assure you — this is very unnecessary. Therefore, it can bleed easily. When the cervix starts to open and the mucus plug dislodges, some of the blood vessels in your cervix will rupture and bleed.
This is what you see with the bloody show. It can actually be very slight blood-tinged discharge. An ultrasound this early is not likely to give any definite answers about the future of the pregnancy. The benefit of an early ultrasound is that it may locate a pregnancy that is growing in the fallopian tubes an ectopic pregnancy. An ectopic pregnancy is very serious and if found you will be treated immediately.
If a heartbeat is found during an ultrasound it is likely that your pregnancy will continue with no further problems. Your chances of having a miscarriage in this scenario are less than one in twenty. The ultrasound can also show if a pregnancy has stopped growing.
Sometimes it is also possible to see that a miscarriage has begun and that some of the pregnancy tissue has been passed out of the uterus. Because these cookies are strictly necessary to deliver the website, refuseing them will have impact how our site functions.
