39 weeks

So I am 39 weeks 3 days. I had a cervical check yesterday, which they told me some light bleeding and cramping is normal. I woke up last night due to period like cramps and I have had very little brown discharge throughout the day. The cramps subsided, but have now returned.

My question is: how long should this last after a check and should I time these cramps or just chalk it up to them being from the check?
