Yes your cervix is sensitive and got irritated :) bright red and gushing is what to worry about. Dr told me where this is my third child so close it was normal to spot after everything because I was freaked out, I spotted off and on the whole first trimester

Yes it's normal. When they do the pap, they take the brush looking thing and scrape your cervix so this makes it irritated and causes you to bleed a little bit and cramp.

Yes. It's completely normal and pretty common actually. If you start to bleed more though and are cramping on top of it, you should call your doctor.
