Dendritic drainage In geomorphology , drainage systems , also known as river systems , are the patterns formed by the streams , rivers , and lakes in a particular drainage basin . They are governed by the topography of the land, whether a particular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land.
Loss of the mucous plug means that labor will most likely start within the next 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes sooner, but that is the norm. If you are less then 36 to 37 weeks you need to inform your Dr. or Midwife if you lose your plug, as this could be a sign of an early delivery.
i lost mine (with my first) about 8 am saturday morning, and woke up to my water breaking at 2 am on the sunday early moring, so it wasn;t even 24 hours. I'm 38 1/2 weeks, 2 centimeters dilated, effaced, and lost mucus plug this morning. I had a few contractions last night, but none that got me worried. They were most likely do to my internal examine. I've been having terrible inner thigh pains and some back pain but as far as contractions go, nothing to worry about.
