Hello,
You could be setting into labor going by the symptoms you have described. The fact that you have increased frequency of bowel and bladder suggests that the presenting part of the baby has descended down into the pelvis and is causing pressure on the bladder and rectum. The brown mucus could be the 'show', due to the separation of the membranes from the uterine wall. The tightening of the stomach could be a suggestion of setting in of active contractions. The pain could go into the thighs as the cervix dilates. Please contact your health care provider for further monitoring. Take care.
