Common, labor?: The mucous plug can present for many reasons. It simply represents secretions around the cervical opening to the pregnancy. It is typically made up of mucus and multiple other hormones and chemicals. It's loss does not necessarily lead to labor right away. But in your case with the contractions you may be heading towards labor. If you are having contractions frequently you should call your doctor.
