I am a first time mom-to-be in my first trimester. Early this morning, I noticed light spotting. Throughout the day, it has come and gone but this evening I noticed it had increased. I have had no cramping/pain. However, I've had mild cramping for the last two weeks but have been told this is normal to pregnancy. I have experienced no cramping at all since I began spotting. I spoke to a triage nurse this morning who advised that I go to the ER just in case since my appointment wasn't for another week. Luckily I got them to move up my appointment to tomorrow morning. Many people have been telling me to go to the ER anyways just to be sure, but my partner and I can't really afford an ER visit right now as my insurance isn't the best.
