Labour soon?

I’m 36+1 and for the past few days I’ve had diarrhoea and an increase in discharge as well as much stronger Braxton Hicks and occasional period pain. Baby has also significantly dropped and feeling more pressure a lot lower down.

Today I’ve had one lot of watery discharge, different from usual (more like EWCM, sorry if TMI).

Does this sound like labour could be near or should I still expect a wait? (I know there is no way of really telling other than waiting!)

Is it worth ringing triage with these symptoms given that I’m pre 37 weeks?

This is DS2, DS1 was born at 38 weeks and I had no sign at all he was on his way until my waters broke.
