35+1 increased discharge suddenly

My previous baby was premature (34+6 so I’ve beaten it!) but I’m v on edge as a result. Today my discharge has increased loads. It’s all normal, nothing funny about it and it doesn’t have a mucus consistency so think it is just discharge, but why has it suddenly ramped up?! Is this normal?! X
