I still get up and go to school and everything. My back hurts constantly and my belly cramps having to sit all day. Sometimes when i walk my belly starts cramping so bad i just have to stop. I'm having a lot of white discharge. My stomach tightens up sometimes and then relaxes that problemly just braxton hicks. But is all these cramps and discharge normal. My baby is constantly moving around, which is uncomfrontable, and I'm finding it really hard to get to sleep but i feel better when i am laying down.

Yes, all of this is normal. Unfortunately being pregnant, especially in the very last weeks, is extremely uncomfortable! You can't sit, stand, or lay down without some kind of pain or cramping or the baby poking you somewhere.
It sounds like that tightening is definitely Braxton Hicks, which is good... your body is practicing for labor. Try using any breathing exercises you learned during those practice contractions if they get uncomfortable. It's good practice for you, too!
And please mention any concerns you may have to your doctor. I know we feel silly sometimes asking questions about things that we don't think are a big deal, but they've heard it all hundreds of times before and won't think anything of it. Besides that's what you're paying them the big bucks for, so don't hold back!
And if the discharge turns pink, you are in the beginning of labor.
Good luck to you!

You are getting ready to go into labor. When your discharge turns pink/red, the time is even closer.
Start keeping track of how far apart the cramping is.
If they are at irregular times, you're ok. If they are consistantly a few minutes apart, call your Doctor.
Also if you get a short rush of fluid, your water probably broke. IF this happens, just go right to the hospital!

there is nothing unnormal about the discharge. thats one of the glories of pregnancy caused by the increased blood and fluid volumes. I wouldn't worry about that unless the color or smell got funky...
as for the cramping... you might want to talk to your ob about that. Take it easy, and get off your feet as much as possible. Make sure you are drinking plenty of water 7-10 glasses a day. And dont walk around too much.

well babe, you should, call your dr and tell him whats going on, the discharge is normal its called your mucous plug... its normal for that to come out... you probably will need to be on bed rest you can talk to your dr and ask him if he can write you an excuse for the rest of the time you are preggo and after the pregancy so you dont have to worry about anything with school and im sure that they will send a tutor for you while you are out... hope everything gets better for you, and congrats on the baby

It hurts.. yet its no longer that undesirable.. easily, once you evaluate it with the discomfort you'll flow through with contractions and beginning it isn't something, dont stress about it... attempt to loosen up at the same time as its being executed and that can help you. Its only alot of stress and prodding usually, so its extra uncomfortable than something.
