I'm 38 weeks pregnant and I've noticed a watery discharge with some white in it since this morning. Could this mean my water is breaking? I'm really worried and would love some advice on what steps to take next.

It sounds like you may be experiencing a watery discharge, which could be a sign of your water breaking, but it can also be normal pregnancy discharge. Its important to check if the fluid is clear, odorless, and continues to flow, which may indicate your water has broken. I recommend calling your doctor or going to the hospital to get checked for peace of mind.

I'm 32 and expecting my second child, and I'm 5 weeks and 4 days along based on my scan. The scan didn't show the yolk sac yet, and my doctor said it might take up to 10 days more to see it. She mentioned it's normal for it to not be visible this early. Is this something I should be worried about, and when might I actually see the yolk sac and fetal pole?

based on your current gestational age, its likely that everything will be visible at your next scan in 10 days.

I'm looking for some advice on how to prevent pregnancy without using condoms. Are there any natural methods or other options I could consider? I'm hoping for some quick suggestions.

You can use semen withdrawal method for that if suitable. Avoid physical relation during ovulatory phase of menstrual cycle.
