Also, it's really hard for me to walk once I sit for awhile. I'm 37 wks and this is my 3rd baby. I've never gone in on my own so I don't know what natural labor feels like. I can feel alot of pressure on my groin area,that's what makes it hard to walk or even hard to sit down at first. My last baby was 9lbs. I'm just really tired and exhausted all of sudden. Then there's days I go to bed late and shoot up at 7 am full of energy ready to clean and get things done. Please help ne body that can help me understand a little bit more.

Maybe the first signs of it.
Ask your doctor to be sure.

Yes, thats your mucous plug. Thats what mine was like with both of my children. The sudden bursts of energy is also normal. This is called nesting. Make sure your bags are packed and waiting by the door. It's about time. When I lost my plug, I went into labor that night. Some women go into labor a week or so after losing plug. Congrats and good luck.

The mucus plug is just an accumulation of secretions that form within the opening to the uterus, also called the cervical canal. The fact that mucus accumulates early in pregnancy is quite beneficial, as it serves to create a protective barrier against infection between the outside world and your growing baby.As you near the end of your pregnancy, your cervix will begin to thin out and dilate. As it changes, you may lose your mucus plug and find a gooey deposit in your underwear or on the toilet tissue after wiping. It is not uncommon for this mucus to be mixed with brown, pink, or red streaks of blood from the changes occurring within your cervix. Loss of the mucus plug is often the first sign that labor is approaching .The important thing to remember here is be kind to yourself. Sit back, try to relax, and let nature take its course. I bet you'll be a Mommy again within the next couple weeks :) ...yeeeaahh !!!
Gool Luck !!!!

I would say that you've definitely lost the mucous plug, and that your baby has dropped into your pelvis. If I were you, since you've already had two children, I'd be ready to get to the hospital as soon as you start having contractions. I have a hunch this one is going to be born VERY quickly!
Congrats!

You may have an infection, you need to tell your ob and they should be able to notice it during a cervical exam

Dunno about the greenish color, which could be a sign of infection,... but if it's got the consistency of snot than yes you lost your mucous plug.
