My wife lost her plug at week 36 but didn't deliver until week 41!

Yup, probably was however, if you don't deliver within a couple of days, it regenerates itself.  I know, probably not what you wanted to hear!

Mine was the same way.  Clear thick but no blood.  Lost mine 3 weeks ago though.  Still no baby.  Good Luck!

I was told that mucous plug looks like mucous - that is why it is called that - it can also be tinged with blood and chunky - but it doesn't have to be.  

Unfortunately I have also heard that you can't tell when your going to deliver - it could be days or weeks still.

At least it is a good sign, though!   You are getting closer!
