Is it possible my amniotic fluid is leaking?

I'm just shy of 38 weeks. I've been feeling very uncomfortable the past 2 days and I lost my plug 3 nights ago. I've been very crampy, feeling like I'm going to start my period. And while I didn't have any big gush of water that would make me instantly presume that my water has broken, I've noticed excess discharge and also a much sweeter smell each time I go to the bathroom or even change my undies (which I do a few times a day due to so much discharge). I put a pad on earlier and it didn't seem to soak up a ton of fluid but I also seem to notice each time I go to the bathroom that more fluid comes out than I feel like I'm actually peeing. But I haven't had anything leak down my leg after sitting or laying in bed. I don't know exactly what to do as I live an hour from my hospital but I've also noticed that the baby is a lot less active and that's what's worrying me most. Does it sound like it's possible I'm leaking fluid? Also, should I call my doctor due to the decrease in baby's movements? The baby normally moves constantly and I've only felt movement on a few occasions today.
