Brief Answer:
Can be miscarriage

Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Cramping and spotting in the first trimester can be miscarriage or bleeding around the fetus (subchorionic hemorrhage).
I will suggest you to go to ER for proper examination and ultrasound to confirm the diagnosis and get further treatment timely.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
