Lately, I've been in more pain. Like, I can feel the ligaments stretch more than usual and its painful. Everyday, it's getting harder and harder for me to walk. Agh! Don't even talk about trying to turn in bed. I sometimes cry of the pain. And I also been noticing alot of discharge!! Am I close to the end of pregnancy? (I'm 37 weeks pregnant)

You should see your OB-GYN to see if you are dilating. My daughter was born at 36 weeks and she is fine.
You shouldn't be crying in pain -- I would call the doctor, speak with a triage nurse and explain everything you are going through.
Also, stay away from processed sugar and caffeine (even decaf) and drink more milk (preferably organic) and distilled water and you should have less pain.
Bless your heart, you are on the home stretch and these are the worst of it all....get a pillow to position under your belly as you lay on your left side and another pillow between your knees -- also if your partner can spoon you and support your back you'll get some relief. If you can't be spooned, snuggle up as close to the back of a couch as possible. Get plenty of rest as this will be needed for the long days and nights ahead.

what country are you from? You should not have to ask this question if you have been seeing a doctor. If you have not seen one, I encourage you to do so now, not wait until labor starts, see one today.
What kind of discharge are you seeing? Is it blood, or is it green and smells bad.
Go to the doctor today. You might be in a problem that can't be fixed by asking on this forum.
Go now to the doctor at the er or somewhere, if you do not have a regular doctor whom you have been seeing.'
If you have the money to be on the net with a computer then you have the money and the intelligence to know better than to fool around like this.
Your baby is very important and so are you . Go to a physician right now.

Yes 37 weeks is full trem you can have the baby any day now or go to 40-42 weeks But all the pain is normal. I exprienced that with both my boys close to 38 weeks and I had both of them at 39 weeks Congrats to you.

At 37 weeks your baby is still growing at the rate of half an ounce per day! that maybe why you feel all that stretching, and all that discharge might be your mucous plug. If it is your mucous plug you could go into labor in a few days maybe even a few hours!!!

Having had three children, I would say no, you are just super uncomfortable. I am sorry for that. You probably have at least another 3 weeks to go. It is very hard, I know. See if your husband or whatever can give you massages, rub your pains away for a bit, keep your feet elevated, drink lots of ice water.
Good luck to you, I hope it goes fast !

I think I cried the whole last 4 weeks of my pregnancy. First one? You should be going into labor anytime now. Try walking alot. That helped my son move down further and I was induced 1 week early! good luck and congrats!

The last three months of my pregnancy was like that......if the dad is around have him massage your hips, also try sleeping with a pillow between your knees.......the increased stretching feeling is the baby readying itself for birth.....when this happens it could be anywhere from 1 day to 5 weeks who knows.......talk to your doctor....i am 5 months post pregnancy

make sure you are drinking enough water. and get the doc to check out the amount of fluid around baby. i had low fluid so every kick hurts like hell. also make sure you aren't low in iron. no harm to take some everyday till 2 weeks after baby's born. this will also help with the pain and rest all you can near the end.
