Q: Cramping And Spotting - Any Info Would Be Appreciated!

I recently found out I was pregnant, and my husband and I are extremely excited. I am very worried about miscarrying, as is my husband. Any time I experience something out of the ordinary he wants me to call the doctor. I do not go in for about 3 weeks yet and have been experiencing some menstrual like cramping with some spotting. They usually come at the same time and I don't know how normal or safe this is. Should I speed up my appointment and do like my husband says? The spotting is light and the cramps are short, but I know that they are both warning signs. I really don't know what to do. This is all very new to us. Please, any advice would be so much appreciated and would help me decide what to do! Thanks ahead of time Question

Call your doc and ask. Its ok to have questions and make appoinmtents. My sister made an appointment every month! Spotting is normal in a pregnancy but the light cramping may be ok but maybe not. Just call and ask!
