Would you call the doctor or is this normal?

I'm 29 weeks (for reference), and I have a check up on Wednesday morning (48 hours from now). I also had a growth sono last Monday and baby looks great and they measured my cervix which was 'nice and long'.

Saturday morning after waking up I noticed a major increase in discharge. Since then it seems to come and go but I will have occasional bouts of lots of watery discharge. I have also been consistently feeling a lot of pressure in my lower stomach and pelvic area, I've been (TMI alert) very gassy and going #2 3 times a day since Saturday. I have regular BH contractions but have for a while (sometimes 2-3 a day, but so far not more than 1 an hour I think).This morning I have some very mild cramping/pressure in my lower back.

I don't know if this is just normal third trimester changes or something to worry about. I am followed very closely because of my own medical history, and like I said I was at the doctor last week and will be back on Wednesday. Is it necessary to call today or am I being paranoid?

ETA: Forgot to say I have been feeling him move very regularly this whole time. He's kicking right now.

I would call just so they could put your mind at ease. I'm sure its fine but stressing is just going to drive you crazy.

it sounds normal but I would call

Re: Would you call the doctor or is this normal?

sounds pretty normal to me I started feeling pressure and noticed increase in discharge during my third trimester. But definitely let your doctors know at your next appt.

I am a few days behind you so not sure what normal is. If I have a funny feeling in my finger nail I email my dr to put my mind at ease. I would not hesitate to contact your dr.

Third trimester you tend to have increased vaginal discharge. It's normal. If it was your water it's more of a water consistency that may trickle or gush. I would call your OB who may send you to L&D only because of the gas which can be a sign of preterm labor if accompanied by diarrhea.

I would call the dr. If your questioning it, always call.

Update: the nurse immediately told me to come in. I'm going at 5:30. Maybe it's because I'm high risk so they are being super careful? Either way I'm happy to go in and get checked out.

Sounds normal to me also. At around 32w I started feeling the same things you are describing. Watery discharge, 2-3 BM daily, lots of movement, increased pressure low, etc.

I spoke to my dr at one of my regular appointments and he barely touched on it. He was like "ok, sounds ok, see you in 2 weeks".

I am 37w now and every week everything looks good. Still exhibiting some of the same symptoms.
