Unhappy Spotting and Some Cramps

On Friday I started to have very slight cramps. I got home from work and went to the bathroom and noticed when I wiped it had a brown discoloration. It continued like that till Saturday when it started to get a little darker, enough to leave a streak in my underwear(sorry if TMI) I was upset and wanted to go to the ER but DH settled me down. When we got home(we had a DH Christmas party and DH brother birthday party to attend) late Saturday night i went to the bathroom and noticed my cm was streaked with pinkish red blood. Cramps where the same. So I phoned the on call doctor and he said unless the bleeding was worse then the worst day of my period and the cramping was worst then the worst day of my period I didnt need to go to the ER and to stay off my feet Sunday and check in with my docter on Monday. I had a tiny bit of spotting twice yesterday morning and stayed in bed most the day. The rest of yesterday and today I have had no bleeding. I still have minor cramping. My question is has anyone else had this happen to them? How do I know when it is cramps or just pulling from everything growing? I called my mid-wife nad she didnt seem overly worried said it was probably caused by sex last week. But I also had a nose bleed yesterday and have a couple of bruises that showed up out of no where this weekend. Do you think this is all just increased blood flow? Should I be worried?

I know it can be very scary, but I agree with what has already been said. It's very normal. Try to rest and not dwell on it too much.

Just take it easy and rest as much as possible. Spotting, as freaky as it is, is normal the first tri. I had it with my DD for the first 7wks, then it went away. But like the dr said if it starts to get heavy and you need a pad/liner I would call them back.
Good luck hun and try not to stress yourself over it.
