Early pregnancy questions and concerns.?

I am 38 weeks pregnant, and had a lot of the same issues you did in the beginning. Your cramping and spotting is most likely just fine. This will not be the first time you cramp, though if it a severe cramp and it lasts longer than a few seconds, let the doctor know. What you really need to worry about is bright red spotting and/or clumps of blood. To be on the safe side, you should tell your doctor about your cramping and spotting anyway, and the doc may tell you to refrain from certain activities ( included) until the spotting clears up. My spotting went away as I entered my 2nd trimester (around 13 weeks), and everything has been 100% great ever since then. Good luck and congratulations!
