    Tara,

    I found this information on a website, but I think it's best to call your OBS/Midwife and discuss with them.
    "Generally there is no need to call your doctor or midwife when you begin to lose your mucus plug, assuming it is clear or just has a little blood showing. Of course if you feel the need that is what they are there for. You can however mention it to her at your next visit. You should call if the mucus becomes extremely bloody or it does not stop coming. It could be a sign that labor is there, or possibly a complication like placenta previa or a sign of a placental abruption."
