Yeah, I don't like cervix checks to see if you're dilated. They stick a finger up there. It can prematurely break your mucus plus and expose your baby to bacteria.
I've had 5 cervix checks and each time I bled a little which I thought was weird because I never did with my other 2 but now that I think about it. I'm not sure i did cervical checks until I was in labor... This pregnancy way more high risk so been in hospital a lot and I have 2 days before they can induce. Since I can't have steroid shots.
I had some bleeding the day after a cervical check. It stopped after a full day. Sounds like yours may be lightning up since it’s turning brown. I’m pretty sure the check irritated and caused the spotting. I decided to pass on all cervical checks until absolutely necessary.
