waiting for contraction???

I'm 39 weeks 6days and still no signs of contractions not even the show but  getting a lot of discharge with no blood or even pink . Has anyone experienced this ? It's my first. Also my dr. Sent me for an ultra sound and said that my baby seems to weigh around 9.5 lbs im afraid now if he doesn't come sooner does this estimates work or should I just wait I haven't gained much weight since I got pregnant don't eat as much I'm still surprised . Please help me out I need the fear gone..

I had no Braxton hicks or any contractions til labour at 41+4 weeks. At the end my midwife guessed he was going to be huge, but because she knew I wouldn't get induced because I wanted a natural birth, she didn't say anything about him being big. In consequence I didn't panic and was relaxed and pushed out a 10lb 4oz baby drug free

Discharge and your bowels emptying it a sign that you body it getting ready. And I just going to say doctor don't alway know how big the baby is. I have one son and im pregnant not they told me my baby way huge he was only 8lbs and still it sound big but that the average size. But thay said huge right before I was going to push him out. Really bad timing and made me worried for know reason. I was a day off of 41 weeks too and he was only 8lbs. I was induced. Just think of your sweet baby the whole time and dont let other get under your skin. Also my mother doctor said my little sister would be 8.5lb she was barely 7, Way off.
