What is the reason for yellow discharge at 39 weeks of pregnancy?

Patient's question:

Medical Description: Recently for the past two days, there has been a yellow, viscous fluid discharge after urination. What could be the reason for this? Also, I am 39 weeks pregnant. Can walking more help me give birth earlier?
Past Treatment and Effect: Due to the due date being August 24th, I would like to know if there is any advice or help you can provide regarding the yellow, viscous fluid discharge. Is it normal?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, according to your situation, you are already at full term. Currently, it is recommended to wait and see. If you experience regular abdominal pain every 5-6 minutes, you can go to the hospital for delivery. If there is a case of water breaking, you should go to the hospital for delivery regardless of whether you have abdominal pain.
As your pregnancy is nearing the due date, if you have a significant increase in vaginal discharge, it could be a sign of labor. You can wait and see a bit longer. As soon as you notice bloody show and contractions, go to the hospital immediately. I hope my reply is helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
