Loss of the mucous plug means that labor will most likely start within the next 2 to 3 weeks, sometimes sooner, but that is the norm. If you are less then 36 to 37 weeks you need to inform your Dr. or Midwife if you lose your plug, as this could be a sign of an early delivery.
However, if you have lost your mucous plug and you are less than 36 weeks pregnant â especially less than 34 weeks â contact your health care provider. Otherwise, there is no need to panic or grab your hospital bag just yet.
