Loosing mucus plug

This is really tmi but I have been loosing chunks of my mucus plug everyday, like a thick snot like jelly, and also, the pain in my hips has got so severe that I seriously think I will not be able to walk at all within the next few days, I literally feel as tho my hips have been pulled right apart. Is it possible to be slowly dialating without contractions or braxton hicks.
