I'm 39wks nd 1day, nd I usually have a watery type discharge. Does a sticky discharge mean that baby will be coming soon??

It's known as a mucus discharge that acts like a plug to keep the baby in and away from outside bacteria. Just keep an eye on it. If it has blood it's known as the bloody show call your Dr and tell him what has happened. Don't wait for the water to break. I had my bloody show and took me a a whole day of labor and 9 cm and my water still didn't break.
