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 really worried because I've missed my period for over 10 days now. I've been having cramps in my lower stomach and pain in my breasts. Today, I noticed some white discharge with a thin red string-like thing in it. Can you tell me what this might be? I'm really concerned about what's going on.
