Hello,
As labor sets in, there is an increased white discharge. It is thin and watery. Another fact that should always be kept in mind is the silent rupture of membranes or sometimes a slow leak that often happens around delivery. In such a case, the flow is almost continuous whereas white discharge, even if copious, is not a continuous flow. Leakage of liquor can be detected using Nitrazine papers which change color. Please report to your health care provider for further assistance. Wish you safe motherhood.
