I'd love to tell you yes...but I can't. I've been 50% effaced and dilated 1 cm for 2 weeks. I lost my plug last week too and I'm STILL waiting. (37weeks pregnant too). Hopefully it will happen soon for you but there's no sure fire way to tell.

I was 4cm dilated at 36 weeks and still went up till three days before my due date. It could still be a couple more weeks or it could happen tomorrow. There's no sure way to know except those lovely contractions. Good luck.

Yes, Usually within the next 8-10 hours. Keep busy start doing things as if you are going to be gone for a few days. Take your mind off of it.

Usually within 24 hours of losing the entire plug. If you are only getting little bits of it, dont worry. That could last for 2-3 weeks. It did for me. Once you get the entire plug out, and believe me, you'll know when that is, it's within 24 hours. So, unless you have already passed the huge gob of goo, relax and be patient. Good luck!

you can loose your mucus plug and it can still be up to a month before labor may start. Give it at least a week before you get to excited. But baby will be coming soon. congrats.

Like someone before me said could be today or could be weeks from now. I was 2 cm on my due date, my baby didn't come until 10 days later.

there won't be any thank you to be certain. i've got had 5 infants. a number of them engaged weeks until eventually now labour and a few for the period of labour. All infants are distinctive. they do merely their very own factor i'm afraid. Your 1st infant usually arrives a week or 2 late. draw close on in there and bigger of luck to you.
