Don't get your hopes up, it could be days or weeks. I lost mine a week and a half ago and no baby yet.

I had my first baby 19hrs after losing my mucus plug. My water broke while i was pushing.
Some women lose theirs and in a few days they have their baby. Or others lose theirs and it takes a week before Labour starts.  Every one is different.  So it's up to your body and baby.

Started getting mild contractions within 20mins, regular painful contractions 3mins apart 3hrs later, but I was preterm so they stopped it.
