Maybe give some free advice about: Pets?
Not trying to be nasty,just an observation, but if you don't have the money to take her to the vet (it'd be cheaper if you insured her) then you shouldn't own a pet. Its like you wouldn't have a child if you couldn't afford childcare.
Anyway, back to helping you. I don't think you should worry. Its nothing too serious. With any animal, including humans, discharge is more common during pregnancy, because there is more pressure on the vaginal area.
If there is blood involved, there's nothing you can do yourself. But it'd be best for your cat if you did get help from a vet. She may be suffering with an infection, or it could be preterm labour.
I know you can't afford it. But it is what you signed up for when you acquired her, and I'm sure you don't want her or her unborn kitten to suffer?
In future, if you have not already take out an insurance policy. It will cover the costs of vet treatments, and has proved useful to me.
Please don't think I'm getting at you, I just don't want any animal suffering-as I'm sure you don't.

How pregnant is the cat, are we talking close to giving birth, if so this could be normal part of the birth process. In human females it is called the 'bloody show' although its not very bloody. In some but not all females the mucus plug in the cervix becomes loose and comes out, chunky, maybe more thick liquid but the blood is darker looking like older dried blood and not a fresh red.
Perhaps cats have this too and it doesn;t happen every time so that would explain why you didn't see it before. You might try looking up the birthing process for cats online to see if that is normal or not. If she doesnt seem to be in pain and is eating and drinking normally, my guess would be that she is fine. If she was not okay and you had no money for a vet, I'd still call around to check if anyone can refer you to a low cost vet. An exam might be more affordable than you think and lay your mind at rest.
