You could be. Don't panic, just call the Dr or Hospital & explain what has happened.

the mucous plug can come out up to four weeks before you are due. but if you have any blood or a clear fluid you should definitely get the maternity ward. however to save yourself a trip you should call first and let them know what is happening with your body and see if they think you should come in. I am 39 weeks and four days and lost my plug two weeks ago and I am 2 cm dilated they sent me home after monitoring my baby heartbeat for two hours that was last week. and yesterday when I seen my OB he said everything is normal I just have to wait until the contractions start or a bloody show and of course if my water breaks. so don't waste a trip if unless you are truly very worried as the doctors don't mind that is what they are there for to reassure you. I wish you luck and a healthy delivery.

Call the doctor just to be safe. Your doctor or a nurse should be able to tell you more accurately what to do since they deal with this stuff every day. If you can't reach your doctor at night then call a local health line. Phone numbers should be in the phone book. Definitely consult a professional rather than risk any harm to you or your baby.

yes you could. its one of the first stages. some may go hours others may go weeks after losing the mucous plug. call the dr though just to let them know at least

Call your doctor and explain all of your symptoms or just go to the hospital and let them exam in you and tell you what to do and how much longer to wait.
good luck and congrats....

you need to go to the hospital NOW. worse case scenerio - its nothing and they send u home after paging your doc..... but if you are in labor or not, losing your plug is bad when u are not in a medical facility where you can get proper treatment. relax, remember to breathe, and go. good luck
