How long after show did you labour?

[Tournesol]

I just had my 'show' today (lost mucus plug!) and wanted to know, for those of you who saw yours, how long after did you go into labour?
Hours? Days? A week?
I've a feeling I've got a least another few days to wait yet....

Mine didn't come away in one obvious chunk, but looking back the last 24 hours before I went into labour I had a noticeable amount of jelly like EWCM. It was so much that I actually thought I had some sort of infection. I was only 37 weeks so it never even entered my mind that it could be my plug. My waters broke 2am the next morning and my daughter was born 12 hours later. I think it can still mean you have several days to a week or more, but it could also be quite soon.

I think mine was 7-10 days no more then 10 days though but I think I almost willed my body to wait until the 17th because I had my heart set on that date because 17 is mine and oh lucky number

Thanks for the replies, Mindutopia, that's what I've been getting all night, no blood or anything.
It's time to play the waiting game I think, come on baby!

With my first baby my plug all came away at once, and DS was born about 8 hours later.

I didn't have a show at all with no. 2.

1st bub contractions started right after, had him 41 hours later.
2nd bub it came out 2 minutes before I started pushing and he was born 8 minutes later.

I stated losing my plug when my contractions started this was at 12.30am in the morning.. Baby was then born at 5.15am so very quickly for me.
