Two weeks before a give birth i was loosing a lot of cervical mucus and after i start feeling pressure and contractions get dilated at 25 weeks why happe?

Mucus plug: During pregnancy, your cervix secretes mucous which forms a thick mucous plug. This plug's purpose is to prevent any bacteria getting into the uterus to protect the baby. This mucus plug comes out from 2 weeks before delivery, while the cervix is dilating. With the info provided, it is not possible to know why you delivered so prematurely, at 25 weeks gestation.
