I think I may be miscarrying, not sure what to do.

[reckoner]

I am 39 years old and I have a 7 year old daughter. I have had one previous miscarriage.

I am 8 weeks and 3 days pregnant.

I have had cramping pretty much every day since I found out I was pregnant. A week ago, I had an ultrasound which showed the baby and heartbeat.

I woke up to terrible cramps this morning and when I went to the washroom and wiped, there was some bright red blood (but not much) and a small clot. Since then, I have seen the same thing every time I use the washroom. Not enough blood to reach my underwear, but I always see it when I wipe and there are still small clots.

So I suspect I am starting to miscarry. I'm just not sure what to do. I have an appointment with my doctor tomorrow morning (first prenatal) so I guess I could wait until then. But I'm wondering at what point I should call him or go to hospital or whatever. I guess I could just wait it out and see what happens but part of me wants to go to the hospital to find out what is going on and not prolong the worry.

I hate this. I am sad and angry and trying not to fall apart.

Sorry your having to deal with this.  They say bleeding is pretty normal in early pregnancy, but if I were you, I would call my doctor asap.  Just see what they say.
I hope everything is ok my friend!!!
