In the last few weeks of pregnancy, cervical secretions increase and leucorrhea increases consciously. Normal cervical secretions are viscous fluid, and a mucus plug usually forms in the cervix to prevent bacteria from invading the uterine cavity.

This bleeding mixes with uterine mucus and drains out of the vagina and is called transudation. Seeing red is a more reliable sign that labor is about to begin. If the amount of bleeding is greater than usual, you should consider whether there is something abnormal. It may be placental abruption, and you need to go to the hospital for examination immediately.
