A member asked:
What to do if i'm having a white mucus discharge and am scared i might have preterm labor to worry about?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Leukorrhea: Most pregnant women should have a thin white discharge called leukorrhea. Its not related to preterm labor. Repeat contraction like pains and often times spotting or bleeding are consistent with preterm labor. Discharge also thickens as it hits the dry air. If however your discharge has odor, see you OB this week to make sure no infection.
