Pain, discharge & weight.

I am 37 weeks pregnant and for the last couple days I have been having heavy, sharp, burning pain followed by a clearish /fog discharge with very tiny white pieces in it is this normal?

ALSO,

I am worried because I gain a large amount of weight one week and loose it the next what could this be from? I get weekly checkups last week I gained 7lbs! then the following week I lost 6? Its been like this from the beginning total weight I have  gained is 9lbs because I keep loosing it too and I'm 37wks!  This pregnancy hasn't been the best please help! Thanks

Everything you are going through seems pretty normal. IF the doc isnt worried, you shouldnt be either. Remember stress makes it all worse. You could also be getting redy to deliver! How exciting that would be. Good luck.

I was just tested for infections and everything came back normal? I just went in yesterday for a check up he looked at me and "said" that it was normal to have increase discharge but didn't do a strip or anything to see if it was fluid. He just tells me everything is ok with the way i feel and the weight thing is normal too? I dont feel like it is:( Ive always had low blood pressure it still is but when I went into labor (6yrs ago) with my daughter I got Preeclampsia right before labor. So far no sign of it with this one. Ik I only have a few weeks I just wanted to know other peoples thoughts and maybe some answers? I had a GREAT pregnancy besides the weight thing all the way up to 32wks then I went into prelabor at 33-34wks they stopped it both times the last time I had problems and started hemorrhaging  (they never figured out why) and refused any other treatment. Luckily we have held off this long I'm just worried that there might be something else going on. Sorry so long and thanks for feedback:)

call your provider about the discharge.  they will likely want to test your urine for an infection (very common in late pregnancy)
sudden increases and decreases in weight are almost always related to fluid retention.  
watch your salt intake and take it easy.  has your blood pressure been normal?
