Can't tell what happened from here but you need to have it checked out as to whether or not you may have broken your water or if it's just the mucus plug. If you've ruptured membranes, the risk of infection that may affect the baby increases markedly. You may need to call your doctor and let him/her decide if you need to be seen right away or if they feel this can wait based upon info provided during your call.
