I need some input. PLEASE!!!

Im 34 weeks and this morning baby was wiggling and pushing down on really pinching some nerves. she did one really bad on and a little bit of a sticky discharge came out. I went to the bathroom afterwards and when I wiped there was a lot more of that same discharge. I dont think it was my water breaking because wouldnt that have been more of a watery consistency? So why would that happen?

Sounds like it's either just normal cervical discharge or it could be part of your mucus plug.  The thing about the mucus plug is that you can start to lose it WEEKS before delivery and it will regenerate itself.  If you notice it is streaked with red, pink or brown you should contact your doctor.  

If it was amniotic fluid it would be a liquid consistency just like water.  It might be a trickle or a gush.

You dont always have lots of water gushing out when your waters break it just depends on how much fluid you are holding, but what you described does not sound like your waters i agree with chez i think it maybe your mucus plug or just some of it, any pains of more loss of fluids i would call the doc/ midwife just to be sure everything is ok, Gooodluck !

Sounds alot like some mucus from around the cervix. This does not mean that you are going into labour but merely lost a little bit of your plug. The plug can regenerate but if you get any strong pains or start to leak fluid ring your midwife for advice. Goodluck!
