Last night around 230am I lost complete control of my bladder or that's what I think it was I was soaked no matter what I did id use the washroom stand up and then I was soaked. Then this morning at 930am I was changing my son and like this little gush of liquid started running down my legs so I quickly ran to the washroom to find this huge chunk of mucus sitting in my underwear it was clear with a little bit of white. Since then I've felt like I'm constantly peeing myself and then pressure came but now I feel nothing again. Is it just a loss of control of my bladder or did my water break?
My water was broken with my sun so I have nooo idea what I'm looking for.. and also I had already lost my mucus plug which was pinkish in color so what was the piece of mucus I had this morning??

Mucus plug can break into pieces, and I am guessing that your water did indeed break. You should call the hospital to be safe. Good luck with the baby!

If you believe your water broke you should be in the car on the way to the hospital last night when it happened. Too many hours after premature rupture of the membranes can cause some very serious problems with mom, but especially baby.
Please get yourself to the hospital now to have a ferning test or a nitrazine test done. That is the ONLY way to know for sure.

GO TO THE HOSPITAL!!
Every moment is ticking away after your water breaks. Baby should be delivered within 12 hours if your water is broken.
Hey you, go NOW!!
We can't tell you for sure as we can't do the tests, but the hospital can. If your membranes are ruptured you are risking your baby's life by staying at home.
**EDIT**
Rupture of membranes increases risk for infection to mom and baby
Extended rupture of membranes puts baby at risk for fetal hypoxia, which can have lasting and permanent effects.
