ab strain

I am 7 weeks pregnant.  I did a 30 min ab class a few days ago which included full situps with a medicine ball, twisting with the ball, and full leg lifts.  I know now that I shouldn't have done these exercises.  My abdomen feels like I strained or pulled something inside and I have some light brown spotting.  I did call my Dr on the spotting and have ceased exercise.  I am wondering if I have done something to my abdominals or possibly have damaged something internally?

if this is your first pregnancy then u can exercise to a certain degree but u have to do light exercise i would say maybe a 30 min ab workout was a little much to do while pregnant u have to be really carefull not to over do it i would keep a eye on the spotting what did ur doc say about it?
