how long after...

You lost your mucous plug did you go into labor? I've heard a lot of singleton moms say anywhere from right then to three weeks later. I was just wondering if it was generally different for MoMs.
TIA! :

For me, immediately. My water broke when I lost mine.

I went into labor with my boy a couple hours after I lost my plug, but i've been loosing part of mine with the twins since last week just a bit here and there and nothing yet. Hopefully it wont be much longer thou. Its hard to be prepare because you just never know. Good luck!

I lost mine this morning and I'm hoping it doesnt happen for at least another week!

With my daughter I lost it 11 days before I delivered, and currently started losing this one since last Friday. Im already at 5cm, but no sigs of labor yet, just minor contractions here and there.

FTR, I never lost mine until I was induced.  But I have heard that the mucous plug can actually grow back - losing it is not necessarily an indication of impending labor.

I have heard that too... I was just wondering. I'm definitely not trying to rush things!
