I am five days overdue and for the past week or so have been getting discharge everyday. It is only a little and is clear or white but not like snot as I have the mucus plug is like. Today it had a few spots of blood in it. Is this ok? I feel a slight pressure and leaking type sensation for most of the day the last few days.

Feeling the baby kick and move lots.

Is this just normal part of pre-labour?

You do usually get an increase in discharge in late pregnancy.

If you think you're leaking though, then it might be worth getting checked to see if it's amniotic fluid (ie your waters)

I had discharge every day for 14 days, for the last 7 it was red/ pink. It was accompanied by major league Braxton hicks, and I was having to breathe through them. I called the hospital to check I could give birth there as we were on holiday (long story - we went away for Christmas).

What fliss said though - discharge is very very normal. But if you think you are leaking amniotic fluid, go get checked. You know the first thing they will do is an internal to check lol, so you may want to take your bag and assume you are staying anyway. Grin

I went to my doc on day 14. He was frankly terrified and refused to check as he was pretty certain I would end up rupturing all over his neat and tidy clinic. Grin my waters went about seven hours after I left, so he was probably right.

I'd say you were probably going to end up with a baby in the next day/ week though. Grin

God I hope so, so fed up of waiting. Have tingling down below like you have just before period but not leaking. Getting shooting pains down below but tightenings stopped. On all fours but sure it even make a difference they come and go.
