No, your mucous plug can regenerate itself. There's no risk unless your water was to break. Then you would need to deliver within 48 hours. How far along are you?

I am at 38 weeks!!!

No, you can't get an infection. Every woman and every pregnancy will be different. Some women lose it weeeeeks before they deliver, while some lose it a day or two before.

Good luck on your delivery when it happens!

Thank you for your message!!! It feels like I could go at anytime with the menstrual cramping and pains. But I have heard that it can last for weeks.

Oh yeah, you'll be feeling that until the very end. Have you dilated any yet?

As of last Wednesday, I had dilated 1cm. Since my mucous plug fell out, my body has experienced several changes. It feels like it is in full gear, for sure!!!
