  I don't know, but I recommend calling your doctor immediately. Are you leaking a lot? For me, I had something like what you're describing, plus a lot of watery discharge, and it turned out that my water had broken, and there was meconium. This can be dangerous for the baby if they breathe it in, so they wanted me to come into the hospital right away. DS was born healthy 6 hours later.
  
  Short answer - call your doctor! Good luck!

  It's usually tinged with red and/or pink with blood. If there's no other leaky discharge then it should be okay. Mucus plugs regenerate. Do know that discharge can look all types of weird during pregnancy. Monitor yourself for a few hours in case it becomes watery and continuous but odds are it's just discharge.
  
  On the other hand, I lost my mucus plug twice during my last pregnancy in the 3rd trimester. It regenerated and my doctor was unfazed about it. For me it meant nothing. If it becomes worrysome, like a nonstop thing, call the doctor.
