What Causes Contractions And Abdominal Pain With Discharge During Pregnancy?

hi i am 32 weeks and 1 day pregnant. recently i have been having what i can only guess are braxton hicks contractions, however sometimes it is accompanied by a sharp pain in my lower abdomen. my back has also been quiet painful. iv tried walking, hot baths, and just trying to relax but it still happens at least once a day. (walking seems to increase it, i had 3 within 2 and a half hrs yesterday in walmart with my husband) when i do have the occasional sharp pain with the tightening almost cramp like braxtons i notice a thick white discharge with no odor. normally there is only enough to coat the toilet paper but if the pain lasts for a little bit theres about a table spoon of it. i also feel like a tightness or pressure in my pubic area. is the baby just dropping? or should i worry about premature labor? i dont have another ob appointment untill thursday and i would really hate to bother her if it turns out im just worrying for nothing...

Increase vaginally discharge is common in pregnancy . Do not bother if no smell or itching is present. However lower abdominal pain could be due to uti. Go for urine complete examination. Moreover our public bones joints start telaxing during later months of pregnancy. So stretching of joints could also cause pain.
