Bloody Show after Exam

I am 37.5 weeks pregnant and dilated at 3-4cm.  After my exam today I noticed pink tinged mucus.  Is this from my exam or bloody show.  I have been having lots of mucusy discharge the past few days but not pink.

Its probably from the exam since a mucous plug looks suspiciously like boogers. But on the other hand its possible that the exam has gotten things started! Not long now if your already at 3-4cm!

This is very normal after they check your cervix. Keep an eye open for contractions since you are already dialated.
