It isn't anything to be concerned about. If you haven't had that discharge up until now, count yourself fortunate. A lot of women have enough discharge to cause them to wear panty liners throughout their pregnancy.
If it is clear, doesn't smell and there is no itching - relax, it isn't anything.

Stitches... for what? A cerclage?
First things first, if you are ever concerned about your own health or the health of your child, CALL YOUR DOCTOR. Don't rely on the internet. While there are some questions that can easily be answered, if you are worried (and you are) CALL YOUR DOCTOR.

That is called a cervical cerclage (the stitches holding your cervix so you don't dilate and deliver prematurely).
Unless there is some kind of bad smell, itching, or burning, it is not out of the ordinary to have stringy discharge in any pregnancy.
