I am 36 weeks pregnant, which means my baby is about 18.7 inches long and the size of a hefty papaya. The article I m reading on my phone while I sit on the toilet at work tells me that I must pay close attention to changes in vaginal discharge, and if it is too watery it might be life-threatening amniotic fluid, but on the other hand, thick mucus-like discharge could signal that labor is mere moments away. I squint at my underwear to determine the consistency of the goop there. I briefly consider snapping a picture and sending it to my husband James for a second opinion, but flush the toilet and leave the bathroom instead, waddling as I go.
