What Causes Excess Whitish Bleeding During 32nd Week Of Pregnancy?
I am a few days away from being 32 weeks pregnant. I have been in the hospital twice in the past 2 weeks because of contractions and pain. Just now I noticed more discharge than usual, it s whitish clear and very thin. But now I am also having really sharp pains in my left side/hip and my lower back and a few contractions. I don t want to goto the hospital AGAIN for a false alarm, because it;s very expensive. So please let me know if I should worry or just relax.

Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion if there is pain and backache and associated with tightening of abdomen then
preterm labour must be ruled out.The causes for preterm labour might be urinary tract infection,vaginal infection ,dehydration etc.As you have white thin clear discharge then vaginal infection should be ruled out.Take adequate fluids upto 3 litres.Take paracetamol for pain.Take adequate rest .
Best regards..Dr srilatha
