It could still be hours, days, or even weeks away.

When your mucus plug comes out does that mean you are dilating or no? · just now. Report Abuse. No-it does mean that labor is going to happen, it is not a predictor of when. A mucus plug serves as a protective barrier between the vagina and cervix. It drops because your cervix is opening and can't hold onto it any longer. With that in mind it can take hours or even days to get into an active labor pattern.

Before labor, this mucus plug is expelled allowing the baby to pass through the cervix during labor and birth. Passing a mucus plug is a sign that your cervix is dilating and that your body is preparing for birth. Labor could be hours, days, or even weeks away as the cervix gradually opens.

Cervical mucus plug As the woman gets closer to labor, the mucus plug discharges as the cervix begins to dilate. The plug may come out as a plug, a lump, or simply as increased vaginal discharge over several days. The mucus may be tinged with brown, pink, or red blood, which is why the event is sometimes referred to as bloody show. Loss of the mucus plug by no means implies that delivery or labor is imminent.
