It is probably irritation to the cervix from the exam a lot of doctors will warn you that this could happen after an exam it could even make you start to dilate don't take my word for it but I've heard of that happening I hope you have a wonderful labor and delivery!!

Is it a lot of blood? Does it stop? Or is it like a period? if it is like a period, he moved things along and you probably need to go to L&D. At 39 weeks it is enivitable, i doubt that they'd send you home. They will either swipe your membranes (if he didn't do it already) or induce you. The baby is in position and ready and I'm sure, so are you! Good luck.

Is it blood that leaked or fluid? If it is fluid, call your doctor, you may have your water break. If there is a lot of blood, call your doctor. If it is just enough to show pink, it's probably from your doctor checking you.
Pretty soon you are going to hold your new baby...congrats to you and your family!
Good luck to you!

That is normal. That area if very engorged & is starting to get ready for your impending birth. If you feel uncomfortable about it. Call the docs office & tell them what you stated here. Sometimes being that far along & getting an exam can help get labor started.
Congrats & good luck

For my last son all it took was an internal exam to send me into labour, which my doctor warned me about. So it sounds like it may have also worked for you.
I would call your doctor just to let him know that you are having some spotting, and he will tell you where to go from there.

the blood was probably your mucous plug and it is totally normal to have that, it could also be from him checking you, i am 38 weeks, 2cm dialated and i have not lost my mucous plug yet, you will be going in labor very soon, pack your bags! good luck! :)

It could be from him checking your or you could be starting to lose your mucus plug. Either way it could be a good thing. Because him checking you can help you start contracting believe it or not. Good Luck and hope that little one comes soon!!:)

possibly from being checked or you could be loosing your plug a little at a time. don't worry about it too much...just continue to keep an eye on things. good luck & congrats!
