Does sweeping membranes cause bloody show?

Question

I had my membranes swept yesterday. I was 3 cm dilated. Last night I had painful contractions every 7 minutes that stopped after 2 hours. I’ve had contractions come and go today. 
I just used the bathroom and after I wiped I had a good bit of bloody show. It was like the mucus plug but with blood. I’m not concerned at all. I just wonder if it’s from the membrane sweep or if labor is about to start?!

Answer

With a membrane sweep, they are putting their fingers through your cervix and trying to separate the amniotic sac from that area. It will disrupt whatever mucous is there and the contractions will make it come out. 
Not an indication of labor in itself but labor could still be near
