Loosing you mucous plug does not mean labor is coming soon . It can still be weeks .

Normally during human pregnancy, the mucus is cloudy, clear, thick, and sticky. Toward the end of the pregnancy, when the cervix thins, some blood is released into the cervix which causes the mucus to become bloody. As the woman gets closer to labor, the mucus plug discharges as the cervix begins to dilate. The plug may come out as a plug, a lump, or simply as increased vaginal discharge over several days. The mucus may be tinged with brown, pink, or red blood, which is why the event is sometimes referred to as "bloody show". Loss of the mucus plug by no means implies that delivery or labor is imminent.

my doctor is on vaca until the 15th.  I didn't think I would go into labor until after then.  I prefer to avoid to call cause the other ob I can talk to is always in a rush and never explains things to me she just says oh your ok your fine

Actually your mucous plug can go over a period of days . It may be your plug . I had lost my plug but had the bloody ahow accompanied . You can notice an oncrease of vaginal secretions while loosing it your doctor would know best

That's probably just gestational mucus not your mucus plug but I would call your doctor
