Spotting+cramping at 5 weeks

Update: I went to the hospital last night because my cramping became more painful and the blood became more vivid. While there I had an ultrasound and blood work done. And I’m very happy to announce that my baby is healthy and safe 🥰 apparently my little one wants to camp out low on my uterus and that has caused the cramping and bleeding. The doctor has put me on pelvic rest and I have to abstain from sex and any heavy lifting/pushing/pulling until cleared to do so. And I will gladly do all of that to keep my little one safe. It was really scary worrying about my baby’s health but the hospital really eased those worries. I went in there feeling numb and hopeless, but I left feeling blessed and grateful. And they were able to see my gestational sac on the ultrasound! 😄 something I hadn’t seen yet so that was exciting news. Thank you to those who commented below with their answers and support. I really appreciated it, keep us in your thoughts 🥰

So I’m a little over five weeks pregnant, and starting yesterday I noticed light brown spotting, and so I put down a liner to keep track of any more that might come. And during this morning I had some more light brown spotting that then turned into light pink. This is the most it’s been since I’ve noticed it. But I don’t have a OB because the one I plan on going to won’t take any patients until after 8 weeks pregnant. I didn’t want to go to the hospital because I really don’t like to. But I’d appreciate any kind of answer. I googled it and of course google isn’t conclusive, I was told it is normal this early, but also spotting and cramping is a sign of miscarriage. I’m still experiencing cramping but the spotting isn’t heavy and is lighting in color.
