Hey mommys! I'm 36 weeks pregnant and have been having contractions all day...ended up going into the doctor they checked to see if j was dilated and I was only at one which I've been for about two weeks. The nurse told me the check could cause me to spot...well I just woke up from a nap and went to the bathroom and I'm bleeding when i wipe and it's kind of a lot. I called my dr and they think it's just from where they checked my cervix but in on google and it's scaring me...I'm wondering should I go in to the ER? Did this happen to anyone during early labor?
