I'd call your OB and tell them your symptoms. It is normal to have some discharge when pregnant. The pain can be from the baby dropping and therefore stretching those muscles, but again I would call the OB if I were you.

If the baby is still moving the same amount I wouldn't really worry to much. I had SOOOO many pains after about 35 weeks I felt like my daughter was going to fall out! As far as the leaking it might just be urine from the baby shifting around and pushing on your bladder. When in doubt call your dr or labor and delivery and see what they say to do.

I normally have a yellow/white discharge during my whold pregnancy, it's not uncommon, just a little yucky. Unless you are having constant regular contraction type pain, I wouldn't worry too much, but if you are concerned, call the doc or the l&d nurse

Don't call L&D, all they will tell you, and are allowed to tell you is that if you are concerned then you need to go to the deck (you are too far along for the ER). Definetly call your doc or team nurse from the clinic. As long as your "tightening" pains are not at regular intervals, not much to worry about. However, you might want to talk to your doc about the leaking. Sounds like stretched muscles. Doing Kegels will help A LOT! Especially after the pregnancy because it is usually worse after. Hope this helps!! Don't stress! =)
