I lost the entire plug, started having contractions and my water part way broke at the hospital, and my dr broke the rest.  

It is quite possible that you are having contractions, just keep track of them, like the timing in between them, and the pain level.  

Good luck to you!

My contractions started before my mucus plug started coming out (I lost it all at once before I had my son, not gradually) then my water half broke, still having contractions, and they had to break it the rest of the way at the hospital, contractions for me started before my water broke though, it varies for everyone. Did your mucus plug start coming all at once today or have you been losing it??
