Brown Coloured Discharge During Pregnancy After Cervix Check. Normal?

HEllo Im 38 weeks and 5 days pregnant yesterday i went for my weekly check up with my OB and she checked my cervix I went from 1cm to 3cm and my appointment was for 11:30am they checked y cervix id say around 12pm I had gone back to work and when i got home i noticed brown spootig on my undies. That was about 6 pm and it continued very light throughoout the night at 4 am it was just one spot and this morning coming into work i been having pains and very minor contractions and went to the restroom again and when i wiped it was brown kinda looked like dried blood when it turns to that brown color..Im just a little confused on what might be going on I mean i know the spotting after checking ur cervix is normal but going to the next day? is that normal the back pains are unbareble and im just a little confused on what to do babygirl is moving just fine though.

hi,
as blood supply increases to the local organs in pregnancy, examination may cause little bit of spotting but prolonged spotting and mainly 3cm dilatation of cervix with presence of contractions may be an indication of onset of labor pains,
so if contractions progress and spotting continues better to consult gynecologist as early as possible.
take care.
