No, it's not dangerous. It's the first sign that you are going to go into labor very soon. You can lose the plug even up to a week prior! Don't take baths or sit in water because you are open to bacteria now. You are safe in the shower though! If your water breaks, or you start having very regular contractions, go to the hospital. Good luck and congratulations!
P.S. If you doctor told you to call when you lost your plug, call him or her and let them know. If you feel safer calling your doctor and letting him know, do that too!

No not really, you can mention it if you have to see him soon (or your midwife) anyway. But losing the mucus plug is nothing to worry about, you can actually lose your mucus plug up to a month before labour. And my midwife was saying its not uncommon for women to lose more than one as your body remakes the plug as soon as you lose it... unless of course you go into labour soon afterwards!

I dont see why you would have to go see your doctor right away. If you dont go into labor soon, let him know the next time you are there. That just usually means your little one will be coming soon! If hospital plans arent figured out, start planning

as icky because it sounds, it extremely is easy white, yellow, eco-friendly or each and all of the above. in basic terms like mucous. Dont freak out however, it extremely is completely usual. some is often tinged w/a sprint of blood. All very usual...you would be going into exertions everywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. stable success to you!!

No need to report this to your dr. its normal to lose your plug up to 4 weeks before delivery

you can lose your plug weeks before baby comes. Its only when your water breaks that you need to worry about not going to the dr.

Not dangeroud but since the area is now exposed, avoid baths and when having sex it would be advisable to wear protection because there is a chance of infection

No its not dangerous, but I would call and let him know ASAP just in case he does want to see you or check your dialation/effacement just to be on the safe side
