Everyone woman is different when it comes to dilation. Some may not start to dilate until their water breaks and even then, some woman do not start then. I've been a new mother now for 3 weeks. It took me over a period of 3 days to completely lose my mucus plug and I started my dilation before I lost my mucus plug and even then it took me 2 more weeks to have my son. So just be patient, your wonderful bundle of joy will be here sooner than you think!! Congratulations!
It varies with every woman. You can't necessarily estimate how long it takes. Some women can lose their mucus plug at 28 to 36 weeks and still don't go into labor for a few other weeks. Losing your mucus plug is a good sign that your body is preparing for labor, but it is not a sign that labor is imminent.
Mine started about 2 hours, but it can last up to 2 weeks after losing it to start contracting.
Every woman is different so it could be anywhere from a few hours to a week or more.
Most women do not see their mucus plug leave their body. However, after the mucus plug comes out, labor typically occurs within the next two or three weeks.

What are good signs that you will go into labor in a week?
It is very hard to predict exactly when you will go into labor, but a few signs that labor is coming soon are: * Loss of your mucous plug * The baby drops * Braxton hicks contractions become stronger and more frequent
You are 38 weeks 3-4cm dilated 75 percent effaced babys head is station 2 plus and just lost your mucus plug are you close to labor?
Especially if this is your first pregnancy, your body could take an unpredictable amount of time to get ready for labor. Generally, loss of the mucus plug means labor will start soon, but it could still be several days or more. It is not uncommon for a woman to be 2cm dilated for at least a few weeks at the end of pregnancy.

bloody show...though it may not be "bloody"
Is something wrong if this is your 2nd pregnancy and you're due in about a month and 2 weeks ago you had a lot of vaginal mucus and it was about the size of a quarter and you've been cramping lately?
As you near the end of your pregnancy, your cervix will begin to thin out and dilate. As it changes, you may lose your mucus plug and find a gooey deposit in your underwear or on the toilet tissue after wiping. It is not uncommon for this mucus to be mixed with brown, pink, or red streaks of blood from the changes occurring within your cervix. Some women may lose the plug at 36 weeks' gestation, while many others may not lose it until labor has begun. Sometimes moms-to-be may not even notice that they are losing their mucus plug because it happens gradually, over several weeks, and they've already grown accustomed to varying but increased amounts of the vaginal discharge that often accompanies a normal pregnancy. If you are earlier than 36 weeks' pregnant when you see blood-tinged mucus, or if you have any vaginal bleeding beyond the first trimester, you should call your practitioner. Is labor soon to follow? Rumors seem to abound when it comes to what it means to lose your mucus plug. While there's hardly a pregnant woman out there who doesn't wonder when exactly she will go into labor, the appearance of the mucus plug does not answer this question with any certainty. That said, loss of the mucus plug is often the first sign that labor is approaching. Before you make a mad dash to Labor and Delivery, however, remind yourself that many women do not go into labor for a week or two after this event. In fact, if you are full term--which almost by definition means that you'll be welcoming your new baby within the next few weeks--there is usually no need to even make an after-hours call to your practitioner.

Are there any early warning signs or indicators that you will be going into labor within the next couple of days?
I never had any early signs. I just went into labour. The earliest signs you will get is sharp pains or cramping, loss of mucus plug, water breaking, or leaking fluid. Hope that helps
What does cervical mucus look like in early pregnancy?
Yes. Your cervical mucus will change over the course of your cycle. This has everything to do with ovulation. Try tracking your cervical mucus and it will tell you when you are ovulating, and when your period is about to start. You will find that after your period finishes, you have little cervial mucus. You will feel "dry" when you touch your vagina and any mucus you have will be white or yellowish and feel either creamy or sticky. This mucus is actually very acid and is poison to sperm, it will kill them. As you approach ovulation your mucus will change, it will become clear and very slippery - very much like raw egg whites. And there will be a lot of it. Your vagina will feel wet or damp. This is the natural lubricant for sex and the cervical mucus actually helps sperm live longer and move through the vagina. Once you start to see this mucus, you know you are about to ovulate and are "fertile". This will usually last about 2-4 days. Once ovulation is over, the mucus will once again become sticky and no longer be clear. If you count 14 days from the middle of your "clear & slippery" cycle, you will find what day your period will come on. The mucus will remain sticky right up until your period starts.
