i think my water might haven broken?

I'm 38+5 and I've been having horrible crampy pains since I woke up this morning they've been in my lower back to my lower front abdomen Ive been assuming their gas or bowel pains. Well I've also been peeing like a racehorse today. Every 10 mins almost. Well anyways I get up to go pee at about 950pm and as I'm finishing peeing I thought I felt liquid coming out of my vagina like a small gush but I wasn't sure since my pee usually hits that area when it comes out. Well I didnt think anything of it cause my pains had finally subsided more to unnoticeable. Well I go sit in bed and around 1040-1050 I sit up and I wait to see if anything comes out well I feel like something leaks out and then stops so I wait then get up to see a little wryly spot on the bed about the size of two quarters well I got check my underwear and I notice that the wet spots at the top of my underwear not the middle where the opening of my vagina is so I just assume its urine or discharge. It doesn't smell and is clear but I'm just confused if its my waters because of where its at on my underwear.
Could it just be discharge?

I would get checked if I were you. My water broke while I was being induced and it went unnoticed the whole night and I got an infection and ran a super high fever. It was part of the reason I had tohave an emergency c-section. My son was in the NICU for 6 days since I ran the fever. Call your doctor and get it checked asap if possible would be my advice.

I would go get checked. With my first pregnancy I was leaking and the dr I have now said if I had been her patient at that time she would of kept me in the hospital because even though its just a leak, the water is still technically broken. Doesn't hurt to find out, and maybe it means you'll see your baby sooner.!

My doctor wants me to come in if my water breaks to not even call just cone straight in. But that's the thing I've read of slow leaks and just gushing and I'm just confused lol. I don't think its my waters but I've never had discharge wet my underwear like that but which knows. Thus is my first baby so I'm really unsure about everything to do with this type of stuff

Call ur doctor and ask. When my water broke it didn't break all the way it look like a discharge.  It was leaking and if u dont go to the doc ASAP u may get an infection and ur baby too. That's what happen to me I went the doctor n a nurse said it was a discharge when I went back later in the day another nurse was yelling at me saying I should had stay the fits time I had gone in cuz my baby and I got an infection.  Call or go in

I only have on underwear and a huge t shirt since I'm too hot to wear pajama bottoms. I'm trying to see if more will leak out but I'm not sure. I'm just confused of its placement on my underwear. I went a week and half ago to l&d cause I was really wet down there but they told me it was excessive discharge so now I'm thinking well this could that again but I've never have it go on my underwear like that

Eh see it could be a discharge but who really knows? See if it happens again then call your dr. its so hard to tell if your water is leaking bcuz it just seems like it could be pee or discharge. Your far enough along that if its your water no need to panic but watch your temp if it spikes go to the hospital asap
