The swab probably irritated your cervix. I'd keep an eye on it. If the bleeding is excessive or continues for a long time, I'd get checked.
It's very common after a swab test. Try to relax and keep checking to make sure it doesn't bleed more. It's not worth a trip to L&D though. It happens a lot. Do what feels right to you.
Is it a lot of blood or just a couple spots? It is normal to bleed after a check or swab test. As long as it is not a lot of blood then I wouldn't worry. However trust your body and if you think you need to go then go but I would wait it out.
