Best Answer

It is the amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby in the uterus. It may not be a large amount of water and may also contain mucous from the "plug." Note the time that it happens and be sure to be checked by your doctor or midwife within a few hours if labor does not progress. That is because infection may occur and you want to be careful about that.
