No,not always. I didn't with either of mine. Sometimes it doesn't come out until the baby is born.

How many centimeters do you have to be dilated before the mucous plug falls out?
the mucous plug can fall out any where after the woman is dilated 2cm it also may never come out and the doctors will have to break the water them-selves.
Is something wrong if this is your 2nd pregnancy and you're due in about a month and 2 weeks ago you had a lot of vaginal mucus and it was about the size of a quarter and you've been cramping lately?
As you near the end of your pregnancy, your cervix will begin to thin out and dilate. As it changes, you may lose your mucus plug and find a gooey deposit in your underwear or on the toilet tissue after wiping. It is not uncommon for this mucus to be mixed with brown, pink, or red streaks of blood from the changes occurring within your cervix. Some women may lose the plug at 36 weeks' gestation, while many others may not lose it until labor has begun. Sometimes moms-to-be may not even notice that they are losing their mucus plug because it happens gradually, over several weeks, and they've already grown accustomed to varying but increased amounts of the vaginal discharge that often accompanies a normal pregnancy. If you are earlier than 36 weeks' pregnant when you see blood-tinged mucus, or if you have any vaginal bleeding beyond the first trimester, you should call your practitioner. Is labor soon to follow? Rumors seem to abound when it comes to what it means to lose your mucus plug. While there's hardly a pregnant woman out there who doesn't wonder when exactly she will go into labor, the appearance of the mucus plug does not answer this question with any certainty. That said, loss of the mucus plug is often the first sign that labor is approaching. Before you make a mad dash to Labor and Delivery, however, remind yourself that many women do not go into labor for a week or two after this event. In fact, if you are full term--which almost by definition means that you'll be welcoming your new baby within the next few weeks--there is usually no need to even make an after-hours call to your practitioner. Hope this helps!!! Pam
What is wrong if you are 40 weeks pregnant and you notice red blood when you go to the toilet?
It sounds like you are starting to lose your mucus plug. It is nothing to worry about as long as there is not a lot of blood. You might go into labor soon or it could be another few weeks. If you are worried I would call my Midwife or doctor. Yes, it coulod be your mucus plug, as long as It's not a lot of blood. If you're concerned, PLEASE see your midwife or doctor... you can loose the baby at ANY stage of pregnany.
Can you swim after losing your mucus plug?
After checking with an OB, it is safe to swim in a swimming pool after your mucus plug has come away. Once your waters break, under no circumstances should you sit/swim in any stagnant water, even a personal swimming pool. The baby is no longer protected by the amniotic fluid.
You are 37 weeks pregnant and lost your mucus plug now Two days later nausea and cramping is this normall and when could you deliver?
First, you should call your doctor, right now. Second, any baby delivered after 36 weeks is considered full term, so losing your mucus plug at 37 weeks is normal.
Do any animals have Mucus?

What does cervical mucus look like in early pregnancy?
Yes. Your cervical mucus will change over the course of your cycle. This has everything to do with ovulation. Try tracking your cervical mucus and it will tell you when you are ovulating, and when your period is about to start. You will find that after your period finishes, you have little cervial mucus. You will feel "dry" when you touch your vagina and any mucus you have will be white or yellowish and feel either creamy or sticky. This mucus is actually very acid and is poison to sperm, it will kill them. As you approach ovulation your mucus will change, it will become clear and very slippery - very much like raw egg whites. And there will be a lot of it. Your vagina will feel wet or damp. This is the natural lubricant for sex and the cervical mucus actually helps sperm live longer and move through the vagina. Once you start to see this mucus, you know you are about to ovulate and are "fertile". This will usually last about 2-4 days. Once ovulation is over, the mucus will once again become sticky and no longer be clear. If you count 14 days from the middle of your "clear & slippery" cycle, you will find what day your period will come on. The mucus will remain sticky right up until your period starts.
