ADVICE!! Have my waters broke??

Hi.. Im 37+5 and for the last few days ive had cramp like pain on and off... Some tightenings usually on a night but they never last... Today, I had a bath.. As normal.. & about 10 minutes after getting out I was helping my 5 year old get ready... I was sat on the floor and I felt 'damp' so I stood up (with the intention of patting myself down with the towel I was wrapped in).. Best way to explain I caught a small gush.. Maybe a 1/4 of a cup full... On the towel.. Initially it was clear and a bit slimey looking.. As I moved the towel to look more fluid dripped onto the floor and slightly down my leg.. Again clear looking. I went to the toilet and wiped with a toilet roll and nothing visible really :/

No blood or color... It didnt smell like wee and I didnt get the sensation of myself wee'ing accidently when it happened...

Anyways..I rang MAU who wer sure it sounded like waters but my pad has remained bone dry (this happened 11am this morning) usually i have some sort of dampness/discharge in my knickers ....and Ive no pains..

Midwife advised i keep an eye on it? Now I just feel a bit confused.. Was it? Wasnt it?

What do you think?

Thanks xx
