Correct Leukorrhea is a white or slightly gray vaginal discharge that develops in
response to cervical stimulation by estrogen and progesterone. Quickening
is the first recognition of fetal movements or feeling life. Quickening is
often described as a flutter and is felt earlier in multiparous women than in
primiparas. Lightening occurs when the fetus begins to descent into the
pelvis. This occurs two weeks before labor in the nullipara and at the start
of labor in the multipara.
Incorrect Mucous fills the cervical canal creating a plug otherwise known as the
operculum. The operculum acts as a barrier against bacterial invasion
during the pregnancy. Passive movement of the unengaged fetus is referred
to as ballottement.
