what does losing your mucus plug mean?

B

I'm almost 39 weeks FTM, and most definitely think I've been losing my mucus plug for the last few days. The first day it looked like a big booger, no blood (I had a cervical check, which I'm wondering if that caused me to lose it. 1cm dilated, 50% effaced, station - 2). Second day there was a little bit of mucus, with barely any blood. Today, we're back to the biggest underwear booger in the history of the world, no blood (picture below if you're a visual learner)... Any idea what this could mean? I know it could mean nothing and regenerate itself, but with 9 days until my due date...? Or is this just a whole new level of discharge?!
