What Causes Clear White Vaginal Discharge And Back Pain During Pregnancy?

Hello. I m 18 and I am around 26 weeks pregnant. A week ago I started having a clear/white discharge that looks like mucus mainly in the morning along with or right before I urinate for the first time after waking up. Three nights from tonight I began having middle back pain. The back pain will come and go. It hurts for about 5-7 minutes then goes away for about 10-20 minutes and returns and follows this pattern all night, but eases off some during the day as I m up walking around and all. The more I walk the less pain I feel. This back pain mainly comes at night, starting around 5-8pm and lasting all night. Last night my face began to tingle, almost as if it were going to sleep. Also today I started feeling some pressure In my lower stomach. I called the doctor 3 nights ago and they adviced me to take tylenol and lay on a heating pad for my back, which only helped for about a hour and then the pain came back. I m concerned because I have a history of kidney infections, bladder infections, uti s, and I also had a miscarriage a year ago and kidney stones shortly after the miscarriage. What is causing all of my discomfort and should I call my doctor or go to the hospital? Is there any real reason to worry?

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion the mucus clear white discharge might be normal cervical discharge as it is seen only in the morning and not associated with itching or foul smelling.Coming to back pain as you have only in the nights then it mostly suggests muscular origin.Continue Tylenol and hot fomentation as pain killers are not safe to take pregnancy.But as you have history of renal stones I suggest you to go for urine examination and ultrasound to rule out urinary infection and renal stones respectively.
