How long after losing your mucous plug did labour start?

Obviously everyone is different, I'm just looking for a general feel. I'm 36 weeks and 4 days, started losing my plug about 4 days ago. Lots of pressure, baby is nice and low, perfect position, and doc says I'm good to go anytime.

Update:

Sorry, I know I never update lately, I've just been relaxed, and oddly not worried about every little thing! I will update once she pops out!

    With my first ... I started losing it at 33 weeks ... he was born at 38 weeks exactly.

    With my second ... I started losing it at 34 weeks ... he was induced at 39 weeks --- I had sat at 3cm, 90% effaced and -2 station for 4 weeks.

    SO happy to hear your baby is due soon. I constantly check for updates!

    I started losing my mucus plug at about 36 week's, but my daughter didn't want to make an appearance until I was 9 day's overdue and that was because I had a sweep done.

    It's hard to say... You can lose you mucus plug around 25 weeks at the earliest & still go to full term.

    Depending on how far along you are, I would say any day now.

  • I didn't lose my plug until I was in the start of labor. I was at the hospital when it came out. Congrats on your soon-to-be arrival!!! :) So exciting!
