Brief Answer:
Consult a doctor as soon as possible
Detailed Answer:
Hi dear,
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Cramping is common in early pregnancy, however spotting is not.
Spotting in early pregnancy can be due to miscarriage, subchorionic haemorrhage or ectopic pregnancy.
Exact diagnosis can be made by proper examination and ultrasound.
I will suggest you to consult an OBGYN specialist as soon as possible for proper examination and treatment accordingly.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
