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.
Some mums-to-be report that they have lost their mucus plug before they are due or early on in pregnancy. However, in many cases this is nothing to worry about - occasionally this does happen and your mucus plug coming away isnât a necessary sign that youâre heading towards labour. However, if youâre worried or have any other signs of labour before 37 weeks, contact your midwife or doctor as soon as possible.
