I just did research on the mucus plug, it's too early for you to lose yours. The mucus plug is in your cervix and it prevents bacteria from getting into the placenta. It comes out when the cervix is dilating and your body is getting ready for labor. Yours is most likely just discharge because the mucus plug doesn't smell either

You usually have more discharge while your pregnant. But if its brown you might have an infection I would call your doctor
