40+4 pink bleeding after sweep

Apologies for the inevitable TMI but I’m trying to work out whether to wake DH up or not!
Had a sweep this afternoon at 3ish, midwife initially said baby is only 3/5ths engaged (I know this doesn’t necessarily mean much - this is my second but first induced from 41+6 with no symptoms of labour so I have no experience!) however when she actually gave me the sweep she said she was surprised I wasn’t in labour already…then gave me a bishop score of 5 which I gather isn’t particularly favourable and said 1-2cm dilated. There was a small amount of blood at the time, then after having a good walk with steep hills I checked the pad to find browny/red blood (a decent amount) which since then has tailed off to lightly speckled clear mucus. Went to bed early and woke up 30 mins ago for a wee - which was pink tinged in the bowel and when I wiped. I have the usual crampy feelings that come with a sweep (4 unsuccessful ones with my first so well versed there!) but nothing like this, I’ve been reading threads here saying that pink tinged is possibly waters?! It’s only come out with wee, able to start and stop it and no bright red dramatic blood.

So, anyone up? Should I wake DH up and do anything or is it a case of wait and see if it progresses further?

The day before I went into labour, every time I went for a wee there were specks of blood in the wee, lots and lots of specks, continued on for the whole day and then my waters started to go at 1.30am and contractions started at 2am

Well I’ve still not gone into labour 😩 destined to go overdue AGAIN with all of the interventions required. Very low about it really.
