28wks pains n dischage

[lil miss]

hi, im nearly 28 wks with my first pregnancy and have been getting a period type pain in the lower
sides of my stomach along with a watery sticky type discharge, not  heaps of it but enough to
notice. is this normal

Could they be Braxton Hicks?  Discharge will change in consistency and amounts so that is not to worry..as long as it is not amniotic fluid.  At 21 weeks I had a leak and cramping pains and was put on bedrest...

I started to notice an increase of discharge when I was 29 weeks. I am now 31wks 1day. It was a LOT! The pains got worse as well. My midwife told me that everything was stretching out and getting ready for what's ahead. Last week I started experiencing pressure down there and can barely walk now because of it! Everything you mentioned sounds pretty normal, but if it helps to ease your mind, call you doc. =)

I'd call your doc, but it could be that your discharge has just increasethe it does the further along you get. and the pain could be ligament stretching.  I had the stretching pain so badliy with both of my girls i would be doubled over in pain.
