What Causes Gel Like Discharge In 37 Weeks Pregnant?
Question: Hello Sir, my wife is 37 week old pregnant. Yesterday night and today morning she had some White gel like discharge. Is this sign of labor.
Brief Answer:
This is normal discharge.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted that your wife is 37 weeks pregnant and have gel like discharge.
This is a normal discharge and this generally mean she is passing the mucous plug. Something that can happen a week or two before labor begins or just before the first real contractions. Check with your Gynecologist to be sure.
If the mucous is pink or streaked with blood, however, this usually means that labor will take place within 24 hours.
I hope this answers your query.
All the best.
