About how long after your mucus plug falls out do you go into labor round about. I can't get ahold of my brother who is supposed to come and stay with us this weekend but mine just fell out. I am worried that he will not be here when I need him to be. I have no one else that I can ask to come and sit with the kids except my hubby. My MIL is ...... and my mom can't come because of my younger brother and my step-dad has to be watched constantly. So, I am wondering about a time line round about here. I know that it is not something that can predicted, but just worried.
I personally know of moms that have gone for weeks, even months before having their labor start.
Myself: (2 babies)
~a week before labor started
~a few minutes before pushing baby out

true, i have heard of ppl losing their plug right before going into active labor, but i myself with my dd1 i lost it nearly a month before i had her. with dd2 i lost it a week before i was induced four weeks early.... so i could have potentially gone another four weeks

I lost mine and still had to be induced after a month. lol So try to stay calm! Ya never know when a baby wants to make their grand appearance. Good luck to you!
There's no telling. " they" say you should go into labor within 24-48 hours of losing it, otherwise it repairs itself. I have been losing mine with bloody show for 2 weeks and still haven't gone into labor. I wouldn't panic yet. I could still be weeks.

with my first I lost mine 2 days before my daughter was born, but when I lost it, it was after my water broke and I didnt know anything about any mucous plug and when I saw it I was like that is so friggn discusting...lol with my second I didnt lost it but I think it came out when I was in labor with her.
