How Long After Losing Your Mucus Plug Did You Go Into Labor?

17 October 2009 2 Responses

A Parent asks, Just curiosity. I know some women dont go into labor for weeks after.
With my first child I lost it and went into labor 2wks later.
I am currently 37weeks 4days and lost it today! Having small contractions but nothing to get excited about.
So just for fun – How long after losing your mucus plug did you go into labor? How many weeks were you?
