Spotting after cervix being checked?

Had my cervix checked at 38 weeks wasn't dilated but was softening and I didn't spot. Had my cervix checked today at 39 weeks 1/2 cm and 50% effaced but after I went to use the bathroom and had very lite blood in my underwear with some period like cramping. Is this normal?

    Could also be the onset of labor. A lot of women lose what's called their mucus plug. It is sometimes blood streaked. And the cramping could be your body gearing up for labor good luck.
