I need some reassurance! Spotting?

I am about 5/6 weeks pregnant. This is my first. I had some really mild cramping earlier i just attributed to going #2 shortly after. I noticed there was potentially very light brown blood (spotting?). I couldn't confirm it was blood or just dark discharge. After several hours I feel no more cramping but there is a small bright red blood that is most certainly spotting. I have a doctor appointment in a week and a half. I just need either reassurance this is normal or should I go to the ER. I feel no pain besides bloating, but I am worried. Thanks so much.
