38+1 Bleeding

So I just went to the restroom and noticed I bled a little bit. Not much, similar to period spotting, and it did stop. It was bright red. What's going on??

As long as it's just spotting when you wipe you are fine.
Just need to let your dr know at your next apt.

IF you start to bleed bleed, like turns the toilet water pink or you get a lot of blood when you wipe call your dr or go to L&D if you don't have an on call service.

Also...if you had an exam today at the dr that can cause light bleeding. I have spotted after every exam with bitb my first and this pregnancy. It's normal and nothing to worry about.

Hey Chelsea I honestly don't think it's anything to worry about as long as it's not heavy bleeding  was it a blood-stained discharge if so it is usually a sign that your cervix is softening. This is part of the mucus plug that has sealed your cervix during your pregnancy..

I'm a first time mother to be, never had any bleeding this whole pregnancy until now. I'm 38 weeks and one day.
