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.
On the other hand, some women do not see their mucus plug until well into labour. According to a member poll in the BellyBelly forums, 34% of women reported that they lost their show around 2 days prior to labour starting. A further 30% lost the show during labour and 17.65% who never saw their show at all.
