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.
If you are full term and have lost your mucous plug, there is usually no need to call your doctor. You may lose your mucous plug weeks before labor starts. If you notice regular, timeable contractions after losing your mucous plug, follow your doctorâs protocol for proceeding to Labor and Delivery.
