Hi, I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Light bleeding and spotting at 38 weeks of pregnancy with dilated cervix is due to release of mucus plug, and start of labour.
You should consult your OBGYN specialist and get appropriate treatment.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Wishing you good health.
