I'm concerned about the lessened movement of your baby. I would be on the phone to my doctor's answering service or going to the hospital if it were me. (You'd probably be better served in Labor & Delivery since you're almost due. They can hook you up to monitors to check you and the baby out.)
The discharge might just be your mucus plug starting to come out. Get ready for a baby soon.
Congratulations!

Congrats....I'm due for Tomorrow! Well had an alert on Friday, and went to check at the hospital. They've put me monitoring system on, and only had 1 contraction in an hour and a half. They've checked dilatation, and my cervix has shortened. Since yesterday night it's painful in the lower region.Anyways I'm going back this pm for another check up.
If it's your first one, well sometimes they take more time to come(1 week, 10 days after due date) and near the due date, he doesn't have much space left, that might be the reason he moves less.
Do you have buzzing ears and swollen feet, flies in your eyesight, dizziness? IF YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS GO FOR A CHECK UP IMMEDIATLY!
Wish you all the best....

Could be some mucus plug which is a good thing you will have the baby soon. some babies don't move that much right before the come out. If you drink and little caffeine and wait an hour see if that makes him a little more active just make sure your feeling him move some. Best of luck.. Congrats

You may well be losing your plug. jelly like substance the prevents bacteria entering the uterus for the babys protection, losing this usually comes with the onset of labour but not always, but it is a telltale sign. If labour doesn't begin in 24 hours see a doctor because after 24 hours the risk of infection becomes greater. Good luck!

Have your hospital bag packed, contact your doctor and be ready to go the hospital at a moments notice...this may be a sign that Delivery is near!!!
I just went through this with my son's girlfriend...she had a boy 6/23
That makes me a Grandma!
