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 .

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.
It should of course also be said that not every women who is pregnant will even experience losing the mucous plug either. In some pregnancies labor starts a few days afterwards and in other cases it doesnât start for a few weeks. There really is no way we can suggest any pattern or consistency in the timing of when you lose your mucous plug to when labor starts. However, what it does say is that you are not far away and you should begin to keep a closer watch out for any early signs of labor.
