What Does Expelling Of Mucus Plug And Pain In Abdomen And Back Indicate During Pregnancy?

i'm 39 weeks and 4 days pregnant. my mucus plug has been coming out and then some fell in the toilet Saturday. Ive been having lower back stomach pain and back pain. could this all mean labor soon ? does the mucus has to necessarily be a "bloody show" in order for me to go into labor ?
