Mucus plug/bloody show

Started losing my mucus plus which was brown so could be my bloody show at 40 weeks. But last time it came out in one big go. This time it's coming out in small bits each time. Is this normal? Any chance labour is near 🤣? Getting impatient now

Sex pain

Every time my husband and I have sex since I had our baby (9.5 months ago), my vagina hurts as if I tore. I didn’t even tear from labor though. And dryness during sex is not a problem. We even use a lot of lube, but it’s still happening for a couple days afterwards 😞😞
