Is this my waters leaking?

So on Wednesday around 11pm I noticed my discharge had increased quite a lot, I bent down and felt quite a bit come out as it was more thinner than usual and it was pinkish in colour. I called maternity triage and they didn’t seem overly concerned and said an increase in discharge at this stage (39 weeks) is to be expected.

Yesterday around 4pm I noticed the same but it was a clear thinner discharge that sort of dribbled out and then stopped. The triage midwife told me that again it’s to be expected and she didn’t think it was my waters leaking - to lay down for 30 mins and then get up, if I notice a gush to call them back. I did this and when I got up nothing happened.

This morning I have woken up and turned over and again felt a dribble come out, decided to move quickly to the bathroom to be able to take a pic of what I’ve been seeing (the pic attached, sorry btw).

It was enough to fill my underwear, and then be wiped away. It’s still a thin ish consistency but as you can see it has a pink tinge to it - just like it did on Wednesday evening.

This is my second baby, I’m due to have a section on Tuesday. With my first I also had a section at 38 weeks, so I never lost anything so I don’t know if what I’m losing is normal or my waters.

Any advice would be appreciated 💛
