There are many factors that influence when labor begins. Your baby can be engaged for weeks, you can start to dialate, loose your mucus plug, start having contractions and still not go into labor for weeks. Once you are having regular contractions 5 minutes apart for at least 2 hours straight, that is a good sign that you are in labor---If it is your first baby.
