Bleeding in early pregnancy

Jenny
Im 5 weeks 3 days and had light pink/brown spotting the last couple of days. This morning i woke up with bleeding when i went to the toilet ( not enough to fill a pad ) and tummy pains/cramping like period pain. Have spoke to my midwife and she said it could be an early miscarriage but as im so early basically have to wait and see what happens. Has anyone else experienced this and gone on to have a healthy pregnancy?
