Light brown spotting after cervical swab?

[MissPenteuth]

Is this normal? Nurse swabbed me for group B Strep this morning, I'm now having brownish discharge when I wipe. I'm 10+4.

I had a pap smear at 5+2 and had brown spotting that evening, anything which disrupts the surface of the cervix could give you a bit of spotting. But call your epu or mw if you're worried.

it is normal to spot a bit after your cervix is poked at during pg (including after sex btw).

Thanks. I was almost certain that's all it was, and it seems to have stopped now, but I can't help worrying

don't be embarrassed, we would all have worried! only reason i know that is because i've had the same happen to me, and have been worried, and have asked GP

i had brown spotting at that time after sex and heavy housework.
