Pregnant With Pressure From Few Weeks. Many Constant Braxton Hicks Past Weeks. Noticed Thick Yellow Discharge. Is It Labour Time?

Hi I'll be 36 weeks pregnant tomorrow. I've been having alot of pressure down there for a few weeks now. I've had many constant braxton hicks these past weeks, they seem to be more strong as time passes. Lately these passed days i've bin noticing a thick yellow discharge. Does this mean anything? Could I be going into labor soon?

Hi,
Thanks for the query.
With increasing gestational age the baby size will increase.
And the fetal parts will exert pressure on the surrounding structures.
Braxton hicks contractions also increase with the advancing gestational age.
Physiological vaginal discharge also increase in pregnancy.
If you notice any blood stained discharge and if the painful contractions appears you have to consult gynecologist as those indicate preterm labor.

Take care.
