Mucus plug loss at 22w

Has anyone lost part of their mucus plug early on in the second trimester? I am 22w and just lost part of mine.
This is my second pregnancy so I know what it looks like. I didn't lose it with my first until 36w and went into labor at 42w so I am not worried that I will go into labor soon I just think it is odd to be happening this early...

I lost part of mine, I think, last week at 22 weeks. But it didnt have pinkish or brownish looking stuff in it. It just looked like snot. I had mild cramps when I lost part of it. My doctor said as long as there's no blood or constant contractions.

It is a mucus like discharge that is pink/brownish and sometimes it looks stringy. It looks like a big glob of snot but usually pinkish with a tiny bit of brown.

The best thing I can say is Google it... it looks gooey n if you're close to labor it will have a tinge of blood...

I lost mine at 23wks and I'm 35 and 3 now. Having contractions and already dilated but I'll probably still make it to my due date. 5th baby and all full term so far. Wouldn't worry too much.
