Watery discharge at 39 weeks

I’m 39+4 days pregnant and I woke quite early this morning as I’m feeling quite uncomfortable within myself. I went to the toilet and noticed that I had quite a bit of watery discharge (quite yellowish) with a sort of sweet smell which I haven’t noticed before (Sorry for TMI). What could this be? first time mum so unsure on these things. Babies movements have been the same but a lot of pressure in my pelvic area.
