Pressure or something else?

Im a FTM, 22 years old and 36 weeks on Monday. But The last week I'd say, I have had alot of pressure I assume like down around where my bladder is, but its so bad I feel like I need to walk bent over it. Its almost painful. I know it isnt contractions because ive experienced them here and there. What do other mommies think it could be?

Also I've had a lot of discharge, its white like normal, but I can feel it coming out. I couldn't ever before. Could it be that I'm dialating?

Which on top of the baby moving downward the increased discharge could be the breaking up of your mucous plug.

When your having alot of pressure, its because the baby is moving down and getting ready for birth, (not saying your gonna go into labor), the baby is just getting prepared and moving more into the birth canal.
