39 weeks pregnant and having...(TMI)

in 3rd Trimester
Im a FTM, Im 39 weeks pregnant. I am 2 cm dialated and 80% effaced and baby is almost completely dropped. (I know this pretty much means nothing, I just figured the more information the better.)  and so the whole labor thing is new to me. Ok for the past two weeks I have been having some discharge, nothing to freak out over. My dr. said I could possibly losing my mucus plug over time. I have been having slight contractions...nothing huge, not even consistant enough to time. I have been having a ton of menstrual cramping though. But again, dr. said nothing to worry about, all is normal.

Today my panties were wet. Not soaked and it wasnt mucus either. It didnt smell like urine, but it wasnt that much, not enough to soak a pad or even soak through my jeans. Im just curious, is this normal? Should I call my dr? Or is this just my body getting ready for labor thing?

    I just called my Dr. re the same concern of a mucusy discharge, was told this is normal going into the third trimester. Only I should be concerned if there was a watery like discharge, I would call Doc - best to be safe.

    Im the same in terms of effaced and dialated. Also same wetness-pretty common, more discharge further along. If you get gushes its your fluid.

    It could definetly be your water leaking.  This is what happend to my friend.  When her water broke it was not a major gush.  I would call your Dr. Smile

    It could be fluid, it could be urine, it could be plain ol' sweat. The only way to know for sure is to go in. If it were me, put in a pad, lie down, and see if you feel anything on it when you stand up. If there's any question, call your OB. Besides infection, my doctor stressed that if the cord were prolapsed, they'd need to know right away.

    I had the same leaking at the end with DD, it was my water breaking but it was a slow leak, that stopped and started.  What happened with me is I started to leak and I called the Dr, they asked if it was filling a pad up, and it wasn't. They told me it was probably urine but to put a pad on and see if it happens again.  It didn't happen again until lunchtime the next day shortly that my contractions had started.  So you may very well be starting labor.

    I would call your Dr to be safe and get checked out.
