This is most likely a vaginal infection of some sort causing inflammation in your vagina but to make sure you are safe and it is not amniotic fluid you should see your OB provider immediately for a vaginal examination or go to a hospital for evaluation. Premature dilation can also cause bleeding and discharge and be a risk for premature delivery so you really should find out what the problem is as urgently as possible. Good luck and I hope this is helpful.
