39weeks 1day pregnant, 3rd child. thick white milky discharge today. mucus plug? how long before labor starts? bh for days but no real contractions

Irrelevant: unfortunately, just because you have a loss of your mucus plug, does it mean that you will go into labor. Your cervix is just beginning to change and making more mucus. Your cervix always make mucus even while you are in labor. Don't expect anything until you begin to have consistent contractions. Seems like you still have a whole week left, not to worry, good luck.
