how soon after mucous plug comes out

[mariandraheem]

Ill be 36wks monday n my plug came out. This is my second pregnancy my water just broke with my first n she came the next day. How soon do u go into labor when the plug comes out. It was just clear no blood. I have alotta pressure and cramps every now and then specially in the middle of the nite. I saw my doc a day b4 the plug came out. He sed i wasnt dilated at all.but my sons head is down.does it mean i could b dialated now  since the mucus plug came out?

I lost mine at 27wks, mild contractions within 20mins, labour 3hrs later. They stopped it 3 times over 2 weeks and I've continued to loose more but contractions are under control. Dr says I'm closed but super soft and could go days or weeks yet.

I lost my plug at 20w, my doctor says the plug means absolutely nothing. I had preterm labor stopped at 33w and was just starting to dilate. I am now 37w 5d and I am thinned but idk if I am even dilated yet. This is my also my second baby...

They say that with 2nd time moms, they go into labor hours after losing it.

Unfort the mucus plug isnt a good indicator of labor. It can be anywhere from hours-weeks away. I lost my mucus plug with my first daughter at 37 weeks and went 10 days over.
