Is a pregnant woman required to fast and pray if she notices a copious discharge of white fluid as her due date approaches?

The discharge that occurs in this situation does not prevent one from praying or fasting because it is neither menstruation (hayd) nor post-partum bleeding (nifas). However, a pregnant woman is permitted to break her fast if she fears for herself or her fetus, and she must make up the missed days and feed a poor person for each day.
