Membrane stripping

I had my 38 week appt about 2 hours ago, she checked me and I was dilated to almost 3, she stripped membrane and now I just lost my mucus plug. Does this mean to expect labor soon or what? I'm not sure what's going on, I'm a ftm and I'm afraid to Google anything. Lol

It's a great sign, that's for sure! Getting checked alone could cause you to lose your plug, so that doesn't say for sure one way or the other. Mostly you're looking for the membrane sweep to work within the next 48 hours. Losing your plug would make it more likely.
