Lost Mucus Plug at 28 Weeks?

Hi Ladies!
I'm 28 weeks and I lost my mucus plug on Saturday night. (It wasn't bloody, but looked like a glob of rubber cement...sorry for TMI!) Cramps/back pain started shortly thereafter, so I went to L&D where they thankfully confirmed I'm not dialated or having true contractions. My OB wants to see me every week until week 32 to confirm I'm not dialating and told me to stop exercising and doing anything that causes cramps.
 
Has anyone ever lost their mucus plug early, but delivered weeks or months later? I've heard it can grow back? I really hope it's not a sign that labor is coming soon, but it's hard not to worry! Thanks in advance :)

I lost mine early with DD, and it did regenerate itself. As long as your OB keeps a close eye on you and you don't dilate, I wouldn't worry. Good luck!

I didn't lose mine quite that early, but I did lose it (or parts of it) twice. I lost one piece at 36 weeks and another at 38 weeks and ended up being induced at 40 weeks. They can grow back, so hopefully that's the case with you. Glad your doctor will be following you to ease any concerns you have.
