Hi Im 36 weeks pregnant, in 3 days I will be 37 weeks..I went for my check up and found out I was 2cm dilated and the next day my mucus plug fell out.. Could the doctor of jump started my pregnancy?? And how long do you think itll be until labor kick starts?? Also this will be my second pregnancy..thank you
Hi, I understand your concern.  Lost mucus plug is first sign of starting labor. It suggests that mouth of uterus is stretched, getting dilated. But it does not predict when the childbirth would be, Progress of labor depends on severity of labor pains.  So actual progress of delivery can be from 24 hours to few days after dislodging mucus plug.  Thanks.
