Dear madam,I understand your concern.The discharge may be due to some vaginal infection.usually in pregnancy the candidial (fungal)vaginal infection is commonly seen.mostly this fungal infection is associated with itching and its curdy type.If the discharge is mucoid and associated with backache or pain abdomen it may be the initiation of labour pains.So if there is infection better clear it up before delivery.so consult your ObGy and take appropriate treatment.nothing to worry.relax and have a happy delivery.
