Answer 1

If you had a sweep yesterday, it won't be long!! Hours, not days.

Good luck :)

Answer 2

I didn't have my membranes stripped but I went into labor about a week after I lost my plug. I was also almost completely effaced and I was dialated to 3 cm for several weeks before giving birth to my son. Because you're cramping and bleeding I imagine it won't be more than a couple of days, if that.

Answer 3

dropping the mucus plug isn't an illustration you're approximately to pass into labour. some women lose the mucus plug at 36 weeks and carry to finished term, on a similar time as some will possibly not lose it until eventually labour has began. there are various rumours approximately approximately dropping the mucus plug, try the positioning under for some basic preparation. Oh, and congratulations!

Answer 4

it shouldnt be long. but it could be up to a week. just pray that they dont put you on pitocin drops cuz they hurt like crazy. i went into labor with contractions 5 min apart and they kept me overnight then sent me home in the morning then i lost my plug that day. they finally induced 9 days later cuz i was still having the contractions every 5 min and was only dialated to 3. good luck

Answer 5

Not long but there's no way to tell you really when. I'd say if I had to guess within a week you'll have your baby.

Answer 6

should be really soon congratulation's
