How long after mucus plug did you go into labor?

Question

I went to the doctor yesterday and she said I am dilated to a 3 and everything feels soft. Just now I went to the bathroom and had blood streaked discharge so I’m pretty sure that is my mucus plug!
I am 38 weeks + 5 days. I know it is safe for him to come any time but I really want to finish out this week at work 😫
How long after losing the mucus plug can labor start?!

With my second I lost my plug at 5am went for a long walk, took a nap, walked again then started having contractions! Ended up having my baby boy that night at 9pm😁 it really just depends on your body...could be hours or days!

I lost mine 6:00am and went straight into contractions every 10 minutes and had my daughter following day at 2:30 in the morning :) Goodluck

Answer

Some people start losing thier plug a month ahead . It is not an indication of "labor ". Also some never lose thier plug( this seems to be where I'm headed my due date is 2 days away and I've had no signs of ANYTHING remotely indicating labor)
