How soon after losing plug does labour normally start?

[Seb]

For those who have had a show/lost their plug, how long was it before going into labour after? I had a sweep yesterday and bled a bit, today I have had mucus all day. Just wondering what my chances are of going into labour soon.Xx

I don't think there is a time limit sweets.

I lost plug on and off for 3-4 weeks. Others go into labour quite quickly. Fingers crossed this is the case for you.

My hind waters broke 24 hours after losing my plug...however no contractions for another 24 hours after that then slow to progress so induced by drip!! I think its quite an individual thing but hope it all happens soon for you x

Same here, lost a LOT lol, kept thinking I'd go into labour right away. On the day I went into labour I lost my plug again and I went into labour within 5 minutes! Xx

And for the other end of the stick, I lost my plug about 3 hours after contractions started...

There's just no way of telling.

I lost some plug over a week ago, unfortunately it doesn't mean anything will happen :/

A month from my plug I stayed at 1cm dilated but went into active labour 24 hours after my bloody show.
