A member asked:

Mucus discharge at 32 weeks, does this mean ptl?

Dr. Ron Eaker answered

Not necessarily: There are increased secretions towards the end of pregnancy, but sometimes there also can be effacement of the cervix which can increase the mucus discharge. If you are having any contractions or if the discharge continues, get checked.
