I'm 38+2 I've had discharge like that my whole pregnancy but recently it's been a lil thincker nd clearer so I'm guessing it's just cervical mucus from the cervix thinning out. Also the aching nd pressure is from ur baby pushing down nd cervix thinning out nd stretching. Im already dilated 2cm possibly 3cm by now nd Ive felt that achey pain a lot becaz of it

3rd time mama and I can tell you it sounds like the mucous plug and maybe beginning labor. But beginning labor could still mean a while before baby
