Waters starting to break?

Morning! Just want to quickly see if anyone here has had any experience of this - I'm 41 weeks pregnant. Had a sweep last week that didn't do much, but I have since lost my plug.

Overnight when I went to the toilet I noticed a lot of sticky white and clear discharge. I also had a few very mild stomach cramps overnight (but I've had cramps on and off for a week anyway). Then this morning when I got up i noticed that my underwear and pj bottoms are wet. Not soaked through - the bed sheets are fine so it is really only a little bit, but they are definitely wet.

I've been ringing the labour ward but nobody is answering so while I wait I just wanted to see if anyone else had an experience like this, where waters only broke a tiny tiny bit and not accompanied by any proper contractions?

My waters broke a little and then I kept getting small gushes every time I stood up. They went fully three hours later when I was in established labour, hope it starts for you soon :)

I had this about a week before my DD was born. It was just excessive discharge. the midwife told me to put on a pad and if in an hour it was wet to call them back in case it was back waters so maybe try that?
