Question

Can you grow your mucus plug back?

Answer 1

Yes you can grow your mucus plug back.

Once you lose your mucus plug especially if you lose the mucus plug too early the mucus plug can and will in most cases grow back and regenerate itself.

Also when you get pregnant again your body will develop a new mucus plug which helps to protect the new baby that is growing inside of you.

Normally you should never lose the mucus plug until you actually are ready to give birth but sometimes the mucus plug is lost before the birthing begins.

In some cases the mucus plug will grow back and the baby will be okay while other times the mucus plug may not grow back.

I lost my mucus plug too early during my 2nd pregnancy with my son and the mucus plug grew back and everything was okay.

Answer 2

The mucus plug is a collection of mucus that forms in the cervical canal in early pregnancy.

Your mucus plug is what prevents bacteria or infection from entering your uterus and reaching your baby.

As your cervix prepares for labor, you will lose the mucus plug.

This is a normal and common symptom in late pregnancy.
