Question
Yes she does have a discharge it's a clear discharge. She also has live worms will this affect the babies? We have wormed her over and over again what do you suggest that we get rid of them after she has her babies?

Answer
It sounds like they are imminent if she hasn't had them yet.  

You will have to worm both Mum and babies with a product from the vet.  The ones you can buy over the counter are not strong enough.  Hopefully the babies will be OK though worms are responsible for some conditions that may need checking out.

Genetics however is not my strong point.
