Lost my plug...how long to go? Advice needed

Hi all...I'm a very infrequent poster/mostly lurker with a question. I'm 35
weeks pregnant with b/b twins. Each weighs about five pounds and they've both
been doing great. On Saturday my mucous plug came out, and I've been having
increasingly painful but irregular contractions ever since. I went to my OB
today to be monitored and found out that I'm one centimeter dilated (woohoo!!!)
I am so huge, tired of being pregnant, and emotionally ready to have these
babies, and I'm curious as to how long the experienced moms here took to go
into labor after they lost their plug.

All replies greatly appreciated!
TIA, Elissa

can it not after loosing it ( I heard that from my OB)
I wish you all the best and hope its very soon for you!!

Not long at all now.. I went into labor 24 hours after losing my plug.

Ooh! Ooh! I get to answer my first "experienced birth-giver" question :-) I
started losing pieces of my mucous plug on labor day (Sept 1st) and lost
bits of it over the course of the next couple of weeks. I didn't have my
baby until the 21st. I know that the plug can regenerate, but I don't think
mine did, because I stopped seeing the bits about 5 days before I went to
labor and never saw any more.
