how much longer do you think i have?

i'm 36 weeks along, and had a dr's appointment yesterday. i'm 1cm dialated, my cervix is still high, but starting to thin out a little. i lost a couple pieces of my mucos plug yesterday, and after my exam yesterday, i had BH contractions for six hours straight. (thought i was getting ready to go into labor, the contractions got pretty strong before they finally stopped) this is my second child. if you go by my due date (which was determined by the ultrasound) my due date is september 11th, which puts me at 36 weeks along right now. if you go by the date of my last period, i'm actually closer to 39 weeks along. so, they could have my due date off by a couple weeks.

so, i was just wondering, when all these things start to happen (losing the mucos plug, having more and more BH contractions, starting to dilate) how much longer does it usually take? what was your experience? i didn't have any of these things with my daughter. when i had her, i just suddenly went into labor. my contractions started really fast, i lost my mucos plug at the hospital, and my water broke at the hospital, and i never had any BH contractions prior to going into labor with her. so all of these things i'm experiencing are new to me. let me know what you think.

thanks!

    I just had my baby a month ago and the day I went into labor with her I was really tired. I slept the night before really well and woke up at 9 that morning, but fell asleep again at 12 until 3:30pm. I felt like I didn't have any energy. Then that night I got a surge of energy and at 8 pm my water broke. For some reason I had a feeling that is why I was feeling exhausted. There will be signs and others have told me the same thing.

    If the due date they gave you is from a dating scan then they will have the dates right so it looks like you still have a few weeks left i'm afraid! BH contractions often become more severe after being poked and proded but unfortunately it doesn't mean anything unless they keep going. But not long to go, good luck!

    i lost my mucus plug about a week before i went in labor. i never had the BH contractions and you could just be getting them because of your exam my doctor told me after i had the exam i might get some pains and contractions. just wait it out till either your water breaks or your contractions are at least 5 mins apart then go to the doctor. good luck.

    I lost my plug 2 weeks before going into labor with my 2nd and never saw it at all with my first.

    These things started around the same time i had my son at 37 weeks and everything was good, so i'd say you have another week or 2
