I lost my mucous plug... What does that mean?

Hello ladies, I'm 33 weeks and I think I lost my mucous plug today... I have braxton-hicks already and they REALLY hurt needless to say, my due date given is May 10th but I will be induced May 6th because of baby reasons. Although, this is my 9th pregnancy I have never lost my mucous plug so I dont exactly know how that scenario works. Can someone tell me if that means I'll be in labor soon or what it could possibly mean? Thanks

You can lose your plug more than once as it can regenerate itself, but if your bh really hurt then maybe you should get checked to make sure you're not going into preterm labour.
