Hi,
Thanks for the query.
Vaginal discharge usually increases during pregnancy and that is physiological process.
But as you are having associated pain abdomen and previous history of preterm labors better to consult gynecologist once and get examined.
If there is any chance of premature uterine contractions you can go for preventive measures.
Take rest as much as possible, preferably in left lateral position.
