Hello dear,I understand your concern.In my opinion thick yellow vaginal discharge needs examination to rule out any infection.The optimum fetal movements should be atleast 10 in a span of 12 hours.I suggest you to consult doctor and get vaginal examination done to check for any infection.In case of any infection antibiotics might be needed for it as these infections might predispose to preterm pains.Smoking
during pregnancy causes growth retardation of fetus and low IQ in baby.So stopping smoking during pregnancy is essential.
Best regards...Dr.Srilatha
