A week? Two weeks? Have you lost the mucus plug yet? Have you had any Braxton-Hicks contractions?

We can only guess.  I can only tell you that 45% of women go into labor within 2 weeks before their due date, 10% deliver on their due date, and 45% deliver within 2 weeks after their due date.

Labor will start when your body produces enough oxytocin (hormone) for you to go into labor.  We don't know when that will be though.
