Bright (light) bleeding? Help?

I'm 38+1 and today I had an exam, this time it actually hurt; not sure if my doctor did a membrane sweep or not. But about an hour ago, I woke up from a nap and noticed some blood on my underwear and (sorry tmi) when I wiped there was bright bright blood. Went to the bathroom twice now and there's still a bit. I'm also EXTREMELY crampy and my bh contractions hurt just a tiny bit, they haventq until now. I'm scheduled to be induced next thursday. Should I be worried? I've never bled after any cervical exam, even with my first baby.

The same same happened to me at 38 weeks. I started bleeding after the Dr checked me.. Bright red blood too... If you are concerned about anything o would go get checked out. It's better to be safe than sorry

I am at a high risk oregnancy. i was told by my doc if I start to bleed or cramp they are huge signs of miscarriage and immediately go to hospital. I would go to ER right now an get checked.. Better safe than sorry!!!!. Hope everything is okay
