FTM alarmed(sorry it's long)

Okay ladies, I need some help/answers please! I'm 32 weeks 5days. For about the past week to week and a half I've been having a lot of what I originally assumed to be discharge. It has been clear and mucous-y (sorry for the tmi),and I've been having mild to average menstrual like cramps. I kind of ignored all this and chalked it up to regular pregnancy weirdness.
Last night, as I was laying in bed trying to sleep, I felt a really intense, really strange ..... I don't really know how to describe it, it was like a soft jerking thing but nothing moved and it wasn't my baby moving? It was like a gas bubble had popped but I didn't feel the bubble, just the pop. I didn't know what it was but I didn't feel like anything was wrong. I went to sleep.
Earlier today I got up out of bed to go let my puppy back in from outside and it was almost immediately that I felt like I need to pew, when not even a minute ago I didn't. I headed to the bathroom but barely made it to my kitchen when it started coming out in drips, and I couldn't stop it. I made it to the bathroom before it all came out and it was like I just peed, only it was clear and felt....different.
Could my water have broke?????

Thanks ladies, I went to the er the other day and they told me that yes my water did break. Since there were no contractions, the doctor put me on bed rest and told me to drink lots of fluids. I can move around the house a little, but no lifting or strenuous activity, and absolutely no stress. These next few weeks are gonna drag, but its worth it for the health of my baby. Thank you for your advice and support mamas!

I had really watery discharge and a popping sensation down low as well. Something told me to go in and my water didn't break but I was getting contractions so close together that it made me dilate half a centimeter and I felt nothing but a bit of back discomfort. I was actually shocked when the doctor said I was contracting so close together , she compared it to a woman ready to give birth and I felt no pain. I had to get a shot to stop them , I'm only 34 weeks the little miss still needs some cookin' time! I say you def go in !

My sister and I both feel you should go to the hospital ASAP at least to get checked out and be told you're OK but it kind of sounds like your water ruptured.

It was maybe two hours ago, I've been trying to rest in bed as much as possible just in case. I've had to get up a few times bc I felt like I was wet a little (I was). The cramping hasn't stopped but it hasn't gotten much worse either, and my back has been aching (more than usual, I'm used to back pain bc I have scoliosis but this isn't like that...)
