Hello, I would be happy to help you with your question.
At 37 weeks, a green thick discharge might very well represent amniotic fluid stained with something called meconium. Given the presence of this discharge AND the discomfort you are experiencing, it is recommended that you call your OB/GYN NOW. This can easily be evaluated and if it is just an infection, it can be treated before you go into labor.
I hope that this helps and good luck!
