my mucus plug just came out

How soon after the mucus plug comes out can labor start... I'm already 39 weeks and 4 days and I'm 3 centimeters dilated.

Mine came out last night at 38 weeks. No blood. I'm getting mild cramping since then but no true labor yet :/

It can easily be 2+ weeks after your plug comes out. Mine also came out today and I'm having show... Could be anytime now. Could be a few days...they are signs that point to labor, but until contractions are 5 minutes apart or your water breaks then there's no sense in going in.

Yhu are in labor love. It may be non to moderate pains right now but if yhu were 3cm yhu may be 4cm now. Yhu need to call yhur midwife/Doula or at least go to the E.R. Congrats!! Yhur baby is well on the way. I'm 26 weeks and 6 days. Still a ways to go on baby no. 5.
