Hello there,

I have a really interesting site I can refer you to that may help answer your question.  Spotting and bleeding can be quite normal in pregnancy, but coupled together with cramping can be cause for alarm.  No matter what the amount, you should always check in with your doctor or hospital.  It can be a sign of miscarriage or absolutely nothing at all.  See this site:  http://www.babycenter.ca/pregnancy/antenatalhealth/physicalhealth/vaginalspottingorbleeding/

No matter what the case is, always speak to a physician and let them tell you the best course of action to take.  Many will recommend bed rest if it isn't something severe.  (They may want to do an ultrasound to check what the reason is for the spotting or bleeding.)  Do not take any chances.

In addition to anything I have mentioned, please keep in mind, that while I or others may have extensive knowledge in many areas, you should always seek professional medical advice from your own physician, as it pertains to medical conditions or concerns.

Good luck, and if you have any other questions that I can help you with, please feel free to message me directly.
