The contractions and discharge could be unrelated. It's probably Braxton Hicks contractions since you're only 32 weeks and the discharge could be from an infection of some sort. Or it could be the mucus plug (though it's usually white/yellow with pink/red streaks) and preterm labor. Either way, I'd get checked. I'm more worried about the discharge than the contractions lol Braxton Hicks are normal, but you can have a yeast infection with no symptoms. I did, not even discharge lol I don't think anything is terribly wrong but you should get it checked just in case. Best case scenario, yeast infection, worse case scenario, preterm labor.

This article from MedHelp.org and the I'm Expecting app shares a little bit about what happens in labor, including a description of how contractions might feel. Hope it helps! You can also find it in Week 37 of the app.
