mucus plug

This is my first pregnancy and I have no idea about most of the things to come, I was wondering, what is a mucus plug and when do you lose it?
Do you lose it randomly towards the end of your pregnancy or do you lose it before you go into labor?
Thanks :)

It can be different colors but uf it is pink tinged or red from blood in it labor is probably pretty close u can lose it early on though and it means nothing as it replenishs itself. If u have a strong stomach u can see a bunch on google images

Its a jellylike that covers your cervix to protect from infection but ull lose it toward the end of pregnancy. Once u lose it labor can start anytime
