It is an average of 3 hours to 3 weeks and just means that your body is getting ready for the big event. I would call your OB and let them know what has happened and listen to the advice the RN offers you.
Good luck!

with my son (1st child) i don't remember loosing my mucus plug....my water broke nearly 4 weeks early. with my daughter i lost the mucus plug just over 3 weeks before i went into labor. i lost it all at once and it freaked me out so i called my doc who told me i was fine. LOL i thought i had done something wrong. he just old me no baths from then on, he also told me i could go into labor at anytime, could be a day could be weeks. Good luck!!! Congrats on the baby!!!!!

My son was born less than 2 days after I lost my mucus plug. I was 39 weeks.

If you are full term and have lost your mucous plug, there is usually no need to call your doctor. You may lose your mucous plug weeks before labor starts. If you notice regular, timeable contractions after losing your mucous plug, follow your doctor’s protocol for proceeding to Labor and Delivery. If you have a history of preterm labor and you suspect you have lost your mucous plug, call your doctor right away. If you notice blood tinged mucous and are earlier than thirty-six weeks call your doctor immediately. Moreover, you should also call your doctor if you have sudden bright red bleeding. Bleeding can be a sign of placenta previa or placental abruption.

I lost mine last Friday after an internal exam...still no baby, we're talking about inducing me in about 2 weeks.

Sorry to tell you but it could be up to another month before you go into labour yet. Your body rebuilds the plug once you loose it too so dont panic if you lose another one in a week or so!
Good luck
