Is it normal to spot after a cervical check?

I’m 37 weeks pregnant and this morning I had a cervical check. I’m only 1 cm dilated. Well, 6 hours later I started to spot. I assumed it was because of the cervical check but wondered why it happened 6 hours later instead of earlier. I’ve also never bled after a cervical check or during this pregnancy.
