Can you’re water break slowly??

So this is my second baby.. first one I had at 20 weeks I only experienced contractions I don’t clearly remember water breaking. This time I had a cerclage and he took it out on Tuesday (4 days ago) and I dilated to 1cm he said he could feel her head and my cervix was soft.

I’m 36 weeks. Wednesday I lost my mucus plug.

Last night I felt the need to go to the bathroom as soon as I sat on the toilet it was a pretty fast and heavy flow when I realized it I couldn’t stop it like you can when you’re peeing.. it finally stopped then done it a little more. Since then every time I go to the bathroom and get up my underwear gets pretty wet before I even get back to lay down. I haven’t had contractions but my lower back is killing me. I have felt like I’m about to start my period for like 2 days now. I have had way more bowel movements than ever. I just would like some opinions everything I’ve read is different and I don’t want to feel like an idiot going to the hospital.
