Today was my 38 week checkup. My doctor did an internal exam and ever since I left the office, I've been bleeding. At first it was like i had my period, but it changed to light bleeding after a few hours. Is that normal after an exam?
Yes! I had the same thing with my first baby. I would say as long as it is getting lighter and not heavier you are going to be okay...I would just be cautious. Take it easy and have a lower threshold to go into labor and delivery if you feel contractions or notice less fetal movement. I think I remember my bleeding only lasting for about 3-5 hours...and I had some cramping. But baby was good and healthy and it all went away. Hoping the same for you!
