Help am I gonna lose my baby boy?

Please help, I'm 42 yrs old and 21 weeks pregnant with my 4th child, my youngest is nearly 19 yrs. on Sunday I went to hospital and was told I had partial dislodgement of plug. Basically was sent home and the doc said nothing he could do and it's kinda normal, but the plug dislodges when the baby is ready to be born doesn't it? Anyway had another bit of light brownish jelly come out and have a little constant backChe and pressure just above my pubic bone. I'm scared I'm losing him, why is this happening and what can I do. Will doctor just send me home again?

Ok thankyou all, I suppose I need to calm down a bit, been under so much stress, had a miscarriage b4 and with my age, lifestyle is crap all combined is making me paranoid. I want this baby so much and struggling with hoarding, dv, an ex who just been released for dv against me etc, etc sometimes it's hard to keep up the facade that I'm happy! I am bout my baby though I say I can't wait to meet him but trust me I WILL wait till a lot closer to 40 weeks than this :)

No I doubt it would be related but a UTI is very common in pregnancy.

As above. Losing your plug is not bad it's only there to help prevent anything like bacteria front entering the uterus. It should grow back.

You can lose your plug more than once. It can regenerate itself.
