If you don't have a bloody show your going to be completely fine. It looks kinda like boogers, but it replenishes itself if you see no bloody show. But you are 36 weeks you are losing it in pieces so you haven't lost it all ... Nothing to worry anout

Losing your plug can be a sign of labor to come but doesn't mean it will some will go into labor the day they lose it a week after even a few weeks after. If you think you've lost yours and you begin to worry just talk to your dr most are more than willing to help you understand

If there is blood/pink/ brown it could mean cervix opening. As you are so early on i would phone labour ward to be checked for preterm labour x

It can be lost earlier in pregnancy in bits but can grow back. As long as its not pink/ brown/ tinged with blood its ok
