Maybe: Increased nexus discharge can be a sign you cervix is starting to dilate, but doesn't always mean you are about to go in to labor. If you contractions get worse or you have leakage of fluid, you may need to go and get checked.

Depends: If you are term or near your due date then losing your mucous plug is normal and expected. No prediction as to when labor will occur can be made. If you are preterm then you should be evaluated by your doctor
