HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is quite possible that labour would start soon. The time frame in which labour starts after the mucus plug is passed varies from soon after to 1 to 2 weeks.
The presence of cramps and back pains however, may also indicate that you may be in labour sooner rather than later.
I hope this helps
