Your plug can also regenerate. It is not an indication it just has to happen before labor. I called when I lost mine at 37 weeks and the Doc said it is not anything to put stock in

A friend of mine lost her plug and it was days or almost a week before she really was in labour because her cervix wasnt opened and her water hasnt break. So you can still relax because it can be quite a while before the real thing happens:) but id say try a little exercise to jumpstart and induce labour naturally

I was 39 weeks with my first child when I lost my mucus plug. A day or two after is when I went into labor. It varies for every woman but you'll definitely know when you're going into labor. Download a contractions app to keep track. Hospital won't keep you unless you're contracting a certain amount or unless your water breaks or if something isn't right with baby when they're monitoring.
