Plug. Say it. Mucus plug.
The cervix tends to generate mucus during pregnancy to protect itself and keep the uterus sterile. The plug, and the entire cervix, softens ("ripens") in the weeks leading up to the onset of labor. Sometimes a visible portion of it (the plug, not the cervix; don't be difficult) will be seen amongst the fluid when the bag of waters breaks.
Penske, this post's for you.
