How long after you lost your mucus plug and the baby "drops" did labor happen?

Question

I'm 35 weeks but have been measuring 2.5 weeks ahead since 20 weeks and I think my due date is off by two weeks anyways because if I go by my last period it was two weeks prior to what the doctor predicted for my first ultrasound of baby's age. So I think I'm two weeks farther because I've been measuring further. I lost my mucus plug a week ago and the baby dropped a few days ago. Moms who have already had babies how long after those occurred did you go into labor?

Answer

I lost bits of my mucus plug throughout my entire pregnancy.  I started losing it (and it was bloody) around 38 weeks. I had him at 39+2....he really dropped around 37 weeks

Answer

I've dropped and haven't lost my mucus plug I dropped at 34 +4 and I'm now 37 weeks

Answer

Did you happen to have an ultrasound done around 8 weeks? The estimated due date at that point is the most accurate during pregnancy. Beyond that and before that babies develop at drastically different rates and it can be difficult to calculate an accurate due date.
