Many pregnant mothers will find that their secretions in the late pregnancy are like crystal jelly and feel confused. So, why is the secretion like crystal jelly in the late pregnancy?

Crystal jelly-like secretion in late pregnancy

The secretion that is like crystal jelly should be the discharge of the cervical mucus plug, which is a sign of impending birth. If you experience periodic uterine contractions, vaginal bleeding or amniotic fluid rupture, you need to go to the hospital immediately for a physical examination and delivery. Under normal circumstances, the secretion is milky white, sticky, odorless, or has a slight smell, but it is not a peculiar or unpleasant smell.

What are the abnormal phenomena of secretions during pregnancy?

1. A lot of thin, transparent liquid is discharged from the vagina: pregnant mothers may not be able to tell whether it is mucus or amniotic fluid? If you have any concerns about female secretions, you should go to the hospital for medical treatment as soon as possible.

2. The secretion is yellow-white and thick like cheese. Symptoms include itching in the perineum and redness in the vagina. This is considered to be Candida albicans infection, which is a common vaginal infection during pregnancy. Even after recovery, the probability of recurrence is still high, especially for pregnant women with poor resistance.

3. The secretion is watery and contains foam: the private parts are severely itchy and the patient feels uncomfortable. Consider trichomoniasis, genital warts, etc.

4. The secretion is light green and has a fishy smell. It may not necessarily itch, but in severe cases, the private parts may swell. Bacterial infection is considered, usually anaerobic fermentation bacteria infection. The bacteria may enter the uterus along the cervix, causing inflammation of the amniotic cavity and infection of the fetus. The infection can easily cause uterine contractions and lead to premature birth.

5. The secretion is gray and sticky: the vulva feels itchy, and there are papillary protrusions in the vagina, vulva and even cervix, which may be caused by genital warts virus infection. Expectant mothers infected with condyloma acuminatum should not choose natural delivery to prevent the baby from being infected vertically when passing through the birth canal.

6. Brown blood: Brown blood in early pregnancy is likely to be "implantation bleeding". Generally speaking, this may occur in the 4th to 6th week from the last menstrual period. It is normal and there is no need to worry too much. It will usually recover after a day or two.
