It's very common to have a bit of bleeding after a vaginal exam / cervical check, or after intercourse. Brown blood = old blood, which means you aren't actively bleeding, if you were, it would be bright red.
It's good that your cervix is soft. When it is soft, it is able to then start effacing and dilating. It will happen slowly and gradually over time as labor becomes nearer.
Good luck.

it is normally ok to have a bit of spotting especially after an exam. if she said you were soft but not dialated then that means your body is just in the early stages of getting ready to bring the little one in the world
brown blood means its been sitting for a while and has had time to oxodize if you start to bleed alot like a slight period or have cramping/contractions with bleeding thats when you need to call your doctor.
good luck and i hope it goes smoothly for you

Its from when she checked your cervix. She should have told you that you'd spot a little after.
Youre effacing, thats what the softness is. You're making progress :)

probably had the brown blood becuz of her checking you...you might also be dilating a little. i have has a little blood twice and i was told not to worry unless it was alot. but i didn';t have brown blood i had red blood. brown is old blood. so i think its ok.
