Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Dr. . Purushottm Neurgaonkar welcomes you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not panic.

2 ) As you have already reached near term, you can expect some kind of vaginal discharge.

Naturally, blood flow to uterus is at its maximum at this time. So there is increase in the vaginal and cervical secretions.

But usually this kind of secretions are without any symptoms.

3 ) If you get bad smell or itching of vagina and burning urination, then fan be due to some infection.
Please seek prescription support from your treating doctor for getting antibiotic and anti fungal agents, like Azithromycin and Fluconazole. Also use of over the counter Lactic acid containing vaginal wash on daily basis at the bath time will be of help.

4 ) Sticky , mucus like discharge, and or warm water like discharge needs urgent medical attention, as it can sign of labour.

I hope this answer helps you.

May God bless you with a bundle of XXXXXXX
