Discharge increases throughout pregnancy sometimes to the point where women use pads, so at this stage of your pregnancy it would be normal to be experiencing increased discharge. It is probably normal discharge or possibly part of your mucous plug especially since you are a tad dilated but plug looks more like something that should be coming out of your nose-sorry to be so graphic. Unless there is odor or some kind of discomfort accompanying the discharge it is unlikely you have an infection.
