Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion pelvic pressure might be normal in case of term pregnancy.The excess vaginal discharge needs examination to rule out any infection so that it can be treated before delivery to prevent the spread of infection to baby.Also get examined by your consultant to check for any cervical changes.Observe the fetal movements.
