What Does Bright Red Watery Discharge During 37 Week Of Pregnancy Indicate?

Hi, I m 37 weeks pregnant and have been having a very smooth pregnancy up until 3 days ago. I have been having lower abdominal pains that don t feel like cramps, nausea (not morning sickness, I haven t had that my whole pregnancy), and loss of appetite. Then today, after I went to urinate, I stood up and this bright red watery discharge came out. What could be the possible cause of this and should I go to the hospital if it gets worse?

Hi
Dr. Purushottam welcomes you to HCM virtual clinic!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully gone through your case, and I think I have understood your concern. I will try to address your medical concerns and would suggest you the best of the available treatment options.
It is nice to hear that, uptil now you had uneventful pregnancy.
The discharge you are saying , if it is like urine and flowing continuously; it can be breaking of waters and you need to rush to delivery point.
If it was a little and has stopped, it can be discharge from cervix.
Have a close watch on baby movements/kicks.
If there is tightening of womb and pain, please rush to delivery point.
I hope my answer helps you.
Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
