Yes, this is quite common. The cervix has a lot of blood flowing into it towards the end of pregnancy and sometimes just ouching it may make the spot. The brownish discharge is possibly a little of the mucus plug which has been disturbed by the examination. Unless you have fresh bright redblood I wouldn't worry.
Unfortunately only a blood test can answer this accurately at this stage. Your cervix will be soft and open during vaginal discharge and you may be pregnant. Although I can't really improve on TrishaR's answer I'll add that a white discharge is also symptomatic of an STD. It's a definite and inescapable symptom of gonorrhea for males, and sometimes for women. (Unfortunately women may be asymptomatic until the disease has progressed to a point where it could cause damage to the reproductive system or other problems related to undiagnosed long term infections, i.e. endocarditis) I don't want to alarm anyone and pregnant women will indeed have occasional unusual discharges, (it's nature's way of housekeeping so to speak) but for my peace of mind I'd see to it that (my family member or close friend/confidante) was examined ASAP. (I've dealt with these issues with family and friends and the sooner they were examined the sooner they stopped worrying)
They found a mass on her cervix that was not there three months before.

Female discharge, also known as cervical mucus, comes from the cervix and vagina. It is a combination of secretions from the cervix, vaginal walls, and glands in the reproductive tract. The consistency, color, and amount of discharge can vary throughout the menstrual cycle.

Not necessarily. Your symptoms of pregnancy will be missed period, nausea, weight gain, increased sense of smell, swollen tender breasts etc.
Take the tip of your finger and press the tip of your nose. This is how a non-pregnant cervix generally feels. Now take the tip of your finger and press the fullest point of your bottom lip. A pregnant cervix generally feels "soft and mushy." You cannot feel it from the outside.
If you are not pregnant, and not on your period, then it probably means you are ovulating. The cervix opens up when you are ovulating, and it becomes 'slimier' to help aid the travel of the sperm. If you are pregnant, then it just means your are pregnant. If you are not pregnant, and not ovulating, then it means you are about to have your period.
If you are pregnant your cervix will swell and get firmer to the touch. This is due to the entrance being sealed so it now starts collecting fluids inside.

Small pinky discharge at 12 weeks pregnant can be a normal occurrence, often related to hormonal changes or increased blood flow to the cervix. However, it can also indicate issues such as implantation bleeding or, in some cases, a potential miscarriage. It's important to monitor the discharge and consult a healthcare provider if it persists or is accompanied by other symptoms like pain or heavy bleeding for proper evaluation and reassurance.
