[Jacob-list] cervical plugs and such

[Mary Hansson]

Congratulations Linda!

Jacob ewes never read Laura Lawson's section on
cervical plugs being passed within something like 12
hours of delivery.  I have seen them arrive a week
before the lambs did.  

This is probably related to how the cervix is
dilating, and if you think about it, some human women
can be walking around for a couple weeks dilated 2-3
centimeters.
