Brief Answer:
She is near labour

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for your query.

Brown vaginal discharge(or mucoid corks ) is normal in this pregnancy age (38 weeks) because her baby is maturated and want to born.
Hence she will wait for abdominal pain or uterine contraction to start labour.

A bit of show means that she is near to labour .

All the best
