This is a site for people to ask and post about these things. Either answer the question or move along. Anyway from what I read it can be anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks. But just be prepared. So exciting! Good Luck Mama

Answer

Thank you for posting this! I've tried to research what a mucus plug actually looks like but without much luck! Eek! Hopefully you'll have your baby soon!! Good luck!

Answer

I lost mine over two weeks and am currently 39 weeks pregnant. I mean HUGE AMOUNTS lol and I'm still pregnant. It can regrow. Just your body getting ready for that baby to come out!!! Good luck to you.

Answer

I didn't lose my mucus plug with my first born at all until I was around 5cm dilated & in active labor, contracting & all, in the hospital. With my following two pregnancies after that I didn't lose it noticeably so it probably came out slow. With this pregnancy? I lost it about three weeks ago and I still haven't went into labor, but baby has dropped and I've been getting more pressure & BH, so you never know!

Answer

Is this mine?

Answer

It's different for everyone. That could also only be a part of it and you may lose some more (it often doesn't come out all at once). Could be soon, or could be weeks. It's not a definite sign of labor being imminent. Regardless, we don't have too long to go!

Answer

My sister went into labor 2 days after she lost hers.
My future sister in law didn't go into labor, she had to be induced. 
It is different for everyone else, some fast, some go 2-4 weeks later! 
When is your due date?

Answer

That looks like mine... just lost it 3.5 hours ago... no contractions or anything...

Answer

I'm actually really glad you posted this picture because I had no idea what a mucous plug looked like until now! I probably would have been freaking out when mine came out lol. Still have mine though!

Answer

I went into labour the day after I lost my plug. I was 9 days overdue though
