Hello and welcome to HCM,
Onset of labor is marked by rupture of bag of waters and release of contents of gestational sac.
Release of clear white discharge could be due to rupture of bag of waters.
You need to consult your obstetrician immediately to assess the pregnancy.
Dull ache in lower back could be the labor pains which episodic initially and become continuous after some time.
Thanks and take care
