How much Longer?

Ok...I am 35 weeks and I lost my mucus plug a few days ago. I was wondering how long anybody went after losing their plug before going into labor. I was also checked at my last appt. and my midwife said my cervix is soft, I am 40% effaced, the baby's head is "dipping", and she said she could fit a finger in, but wouldn't because I was only 35 weeks. Just wondering what all your experiences are...and how long you all might think I have left. This is my second.

I don't think the loss of the mucous plug is any indication as to when labor will begin. So you'll just have to TRY to be patient!!

Probably not what you want to hear, but I was 4-5 cent. and 80-90% effaced (2 different appointments, one the day before labor started) before having dd#2 on her due date. HTH!
