mucus plug...

So I am 34 wks 5 days and I think my baby has dropped in the past two days due to more pelvic pressure, peeing much more frequently, more back pain, and more space below my bobs. Also, tonight after I showered I'm pretty sure I lost a portion of my mucus plug. It wasn't blood tinged though. I haven't had a vaginal exam since 30 wks when i was still closed. I've also been experiencing braxton hicks tonight. So my questions are should I worry about labor starting soon? And should I call my doc or wait until Monday?

You can loose your plug for weeks upon weeks before actual labour, as it continuously regenerates itself. If your contractions become more frequent or regular I'd go in and get checked out.
