How long after losing your mucus plug did labor start?

1

Hello! I’m 36 weeks pregnant. I seen my doctor today and we did confirm that I am starting to loose bits of my mucus plug! Baby is sitting super low in my pelvis and ready to come out. My questions is, how long did other mommas carry their babies in similar situations? Did you carry full term or were you early?

You can lose your mucus plug all pregnancy long doesnt mean your water will break

I went 3 weeks early with my first. My step daughter kept having pains in her cervix area and turned out that a bone was in the way of her pushing the baby out. So after a hour and a half of pushing they decided she needed a c section.

My plug fell out at 36w and I went full term. A day before her due daye

I lost mine with my son 2 weeks before I had him and with both of my girls I lost pieces of mine at a time…it does regenerate to prevent infections

No way of telling… my 3rd was still high up and not engaged at 38 weeks and my midwife said at least another week and he came 4 days later. Unfortunately they have a mind of their own
