Why call it 'cervical mucus'? It's Fluid...isn't it?

Anytime I see cervical 'mucus' I crease my brows together. Do they call it seminal 'mucus'? No, it's seminal fluid. Well, we have fluid and I want it called fluid. Anytime you see 'mucus' used on a website, see if you can't email a comment for them to change it!! That's all. Thanks, ladies. :)

The farther along you are in pregnancy the more it looks like mucus instead of fluid. Trust me.♥

The term mucus refers to the consistancy of the fluid. It is thicker than seminal fluid. Fluid in your lungs or nasal cavity is called mucus for the same reason. It is not runny it is viscous.
