Mucus Plug

I am 37 weeks 4 days pregnant with my second child. I have noticed an increase in discharge over the last week but I have not dilated any further than a "finger tip".

During my first pregnancy I lost my plug at 9 am, water broke at 9 pm on the same day and went from 1 cm to delivery in 5 hours with no help (ie drugs, walking etc).

Can the plug be passed without my knowledge? Is their a "cervical pattern" (is dilation similar in different pregnancy's)?

And here is an inquiring mind question. Can a cervix dilate past 10 cm? I was just wondering since it always ends at ten and I know every woman is different and I thought that someone has had to physically go past ten cm.

Thank you for the advice and satisfying my curiosity.
