Help! Have my waters gone?

II'm 33 weeks pregnant today and I've been having cramps that I assumed were braxton hicks for about 3 days.
I was just putting some laundry in and I felt a damp feeling in my trousers and knickers, thought oops that embarrassing I've wet myself! It was about 2/3 tablespoons of liquid so I've changed my underwear and trousers and a few minutes later there's about 2 more teaspoons worth. It's clear and odourless so I'm starting to think it could be my waters and am panicking like mad!
I can't get through to the assessment centre but I'm wondering if it would come slowly like this if it was really waters and I've had no cramps since this morning. I had my waters broken with my first and it certainly wasn't a slow trickle so I've no idea! Anyone have any idea?

You need to call the maternity unit for advice ASAP

Sorry posted too soon! If they're not answering, then go down. Waters can trickle or gush and since you're pre-term it is not worth the risk.

Put a pad on so they can test it and get yourself to the assessment unit. Better safe than sorry

Hi yes it could be your waters ,go get checked out. Ive had 2 prem babies so its best to make sure your baby isnt coming early.

Sounds like it. Call the maternity unit

My waters ‘broke’ like this, but overnight. I would drive to the hospital if they aren’t picking up

If you have some stick a maternity pad on, it might help them check if it's waters when you get there. Then head to the hospital. Better safe than sorry.

Oh god I was hoping to hear that I was just being over cautious. DP is on his way to take me to the hospital and look after DS now and I've a pad a on. I'm going to try them again now🤞🏻

No baby here thank goodness, I wasn't quite ready! I was having irregular contractions and my cervix is low and soft but I'm on bed rest and hoping to hold on until at least 36 weeks🤞🏻 I'll update with a picture when baby girl does arrive if I remember. Thank you all for the advice and concernThanks
