Early labor - how long did it last for you?

Diana

I’m due today w/ baby #1, have been having slight - moderate pain contractions since mid morning and have been losing my mucus plug (clear - no color to it) all day. Contractions have been 20-30 second and every 10-20 minutes consistently. How long did early labor last for you? Called the birthing suite and they said just relax, stop timing them, and forget it and to call back when I can’t “ignore it” anymore, and said that this can last a few days. Please share your stories!
