You could be cramping because your uterus
is growing and the spotting may very well
just be some spotting that a lot of women
experience in their first trimester. You
definately want to contact your Dr. First
thing in the morning that way they can
check and see what's going on.
If you were cramping and bleeding heavily,
there would be more cause for concern.
But, I don't think it's anything serious.
You won't know until you see your regular
Dr. So make sure you go. Even though
more than likely, everything's fine,
bleeding is not to be taken lightly.
If it makes you feel any better, 50% of
pregnant women will bleed at some time
during their first trimester. And 50% of
them will go on to have normal, healthy
pregnancies. And a lot of women cramp.
So don't worry too much because that's not
good for you or the baby. It really
doesn't sound like anything serious, but
like I said... Make sure you call your
Dr. First thing in the morning.
Please let us know what happens

Thank you farah for replying to my
questions. Naturally I was worried so I
called my midwife, she told me to go to
ob-triage. So I went and found that I was
in the early process of a miscarriage.
Thank you so much for replying it feels
good to know that there are good caring
people out there.
