Question!!

Nikki • had our first baby boy on Oct.23! :) ttc baby #2

So I'm 35 weeks today, and they checked to see if I was dilated at my appt..but I wasnt..

I just started bleeding/spotting and I was wondering if that's normal.. I called my doc and she asked if it was bleeding or spotting and I don't really know the difference I guess. It's red and it filled a pantiliner..

Anyone? :/
