What does a mucus plug look like?

I went to the bathroom and when I finished using I wiped and there was a clear slimmy snot like thing hanging from my private area. I don't know what it was, I tried calling the doctor, but my phone is messing up and it won't let me call... I am currently 38 weeks and 5 days. Should I be worried? I really need answers. I'm super nervous.

No it just means your progressing & labor isn't too far off.  Could still be a week or two even.
