If your mom does not have any infectious diseases that are transmitted via blood (like HIV or hepatitis) then you have nothing to worry about. Some bleeding in a wound is a good thing as it will force out the microbes that may have been pushed in from your skin.

Thumbs up to gottathink. Just wash your hands with soap and water, my friend. Nothing will come of it.
