I had been losing chunks of my mucus plug for weeks, but it kept growing back. At times I thought that I had lost the entire thing, but it wasn't until I was in the hospital and my water had broken that I realized how huge the mucus plug actually is! I would say that I lost my mucus plug about an hour after my water broke. It was disgusting...
With DS, I lost my mucous plug about an hour after contractions started, and about an hour before my water broke. So it happened during the process.
With DD, I started to lose my mucous plus Saturday night and bits and pieces all day Sunday. Early labor started Monday morning with a bloody show and light contractions, and I had the baby Monday night. So it really was my 1st indication that labor was close.
Mine showed up once labor really started. I had early labor for over a week and then last Friday morning at 3, bam, the whole show got started - blood, regular contractions 3 min apart for 43 sec each. My water didn't break on its own, my MW broke it for me right before the pushing started.

Yes, I lost both during both pregnancies.

I hope this helps!
My "bloody show" didn't happen until contractions started. And for me, mine was just a little bit of blood every time i peed.
Mucus plug, started loosing little bits a week before i delivered.
I lost my mucus plug on Friday/Saturday. Had bloody show on Sunday. Started feeling contractions Monday night. Delivered yesterday.
With DD1, I lost my mucus plug and had bloody show the day I went into labor.
