How long does it take for cervical mucus plug to come out before giving birth

Patient's question:

I got married last year. Recently, I've been experiencing lower abdominal pain, especially during my period. I'm very worried about it affecting my fertility, and I'm also extremely sensitive to cold and coldness. Could you please tell me how long it takes for cervical mucus plug to be discharged?

Doctor's answer:

Cervical mucus cannot determine how soon birth will occur. Generally, spotting or light bleeding is a sign that labor is approaching, and you should go to the hospital immediately to be ready for delivery. Maintain a calm mood, eat a balanced diet, and get adequate rest. Currently, it is recommended to visit the gynecology department of the hospital to rule out discomfort caused by gynecological infections such as vaginitis or pelvic inflammatory disease. An ultrasound examination of the fetus should be performed, and if there is inflammation, timely treatment should be initiated. Regular prenatal check-ups should also be scheduled.
