How soon can labor start after getting my membranes stripped and losing my mucus plug in the same day?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very variable: Some patients will go into labor in a few hours, others may not start labor more than a few days. If your contractions start getting closer (every 4-5 minutes), or you start leaking fluid call your doctor. You may spot after having your membranes stripped, but heavier bleeding should also prompt a call.
