What Causes Frequent Urination And Clear Jelly Like Discharge At 35 Weeks Of Pregnancy?

Hi, I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with my second child. My daughter was a completely different pregnancy right from the start to this one. I live nearly and hour and a half away from the hospital so am a little nervous. I have been having a clear jelly like discharge for the last few weeks and have being needing to urinate nearly every 30 minutes during the day and today passed 5 stools when I have been having difficulty with regular stools through out this pregnancy. For the last 3 - 4 days I have also been experiencing medium - strong cramping irregularly in my lower back and lower abdominal area. I have also been having pain in my pelvic region when I go to stand from a sitting or laying down position and sometimes even walking. He feels extremely low and has become a little more active also for the last few days. I feel a little silly asking because I feel I should already know but are these signs of pre-labour and should I be contacting my midwife?

Hello dear,
I understand your concern.
In my opinion the frequency of urination might suggest urinary tract infection(UTI).
And UTI along with pain abdomen might need to rule out the preterm pains.
So you might need consultation with doctor to rule out the cervical changes and preterm pains.
Also vaginal infection should be ruled out as there is vaginal discharge.
Also the complete urine examination helps in ruling out UTI.
Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres to prevent
UTI.UTI are routinely seen in pregnancy.
So the pain abdomen might be due to UTI or preterm pains or any stomach infection.
Take electrolyte powder and lactobacillus tablets for loose motions.
Nothing to worry as all the above said causes are treatable once they are diagnosed.
So relax and avoid stress.
Consult your doctor.
Hope this helps.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
