I would say yes you should see your doctor.  It never hurts to be safe to make sure everything is okay.  If I'm not mistaken it takes a couple of days to lose it completely (Someone correct me if I'm wrong.)

The mucus plug is constantly reforming to protect the baby from Infection... I would still contact your
dr just to be safe tho

As long as it isnt tinged with blood of any sort you should be fine. Those things have a way of regenerating themselves. I lost some of it around 20 weeks and then again yesterday at 32 weeks and everything has been fine. Still contact your doctor if you are worried.
