I lost mine at 23 weeks and it grew back and I lost it again at 38 weeks when my waters broke. So losing your mucus plug doesn't necessarily mean you'll go into labour :)

You can lose your mucus plug in pieces and I've heard it can grow back. The cramps sounds like braxton hicks considering how far along you are but if you're really worried you can always call your Dr and see what he/she says, could be something else, like dehydration which can cause preterm labor. Better safe then sorry!
