That sounds like what is called the "bloody show" where the mucus plug is starting to come out. When it dislodges completely, your water breaks.
It means that you are closer to labor now than you were .... However, it could still be a while so don't head to the hospital, yet.
As far as the pain between the legs and elephant feet ... all normal but still not really indicators of labor starting.
Go to the hospital when your water breaks or when you are having contractions 5-7 minutes apart consistently or you are bleeding. Otherwise, take naps .... LOTS OF NAPS! After the baby comes you will wish you could take more naps! ;-)

It's possible you may have started dialating. With my son, I had a vaginal exam on Tuesday and wasn't dialated or effaced. By Thursday I was dilated to 1cm. I was having trouble with High blood pressure and delivered via c-section that Friday at 37 weeks. Everybody is different. Just keep a close eye out and listen to your body. If you think you are leaking fluid or something has changed I would call the doctor. Don't worry about bothering them. During the last 2 months of my pregnancy I called my doctor almost 3 to 4 times a week. It's better to be safe then sorry.
Good luck and Hope you have a beautiful and Healthy Baby.

This could be what is called a "show" which is the plug at the neck of the womb. It comes away just before labour. It means that you don't have long to go.....it could be today! If you are worried or start getting pains get in touch with your doctor/midwife. Good luck.

it could be that you are losing some of your mucous plug, which you can lose either weeks before you deliver or right before. in between my legs hurts and i'm only 33 weeks along, it could just be the pressure from the baby dropping. all are signs that labor is getting closer, but no one can tell you if you're dilated unless the doctor checks again.
