Bleeding with light cramping in first trimester

I am ten weeks pregnant with my first baby. This morning after I peed I notice a few drops of bright red blood. I was intstantly in a panic and called my midwife who explained to me what to expect if I went on to have a miscarriage and also that it is not too uncommon for women to conitinue on with a normal pregnancy. I was so upset, but tried to remain optimistic. But then about four hours later I began to have very light cramping. Of course my mind is convinced that I am going to miscarry and I have been unable to stop crying. I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience of very light bleeding and off an on light cramping simotaneously and still gone on to carry the baby healthily? I won't know until later this week when I have an ultrasound and in the meantime I feel like my entire world is crashing around me. Anyone who has gone through this or knows of someone who has that may have any thoughts or insight would be appreciated. Blessings to everyone!!

I'm sorry you are have such a rough time. It probably isn't 'normal' to bleed or cramp with a pregnancy but then when have any of us been entirely 'normal'.
I have 5 children. I bled (not just spotting) for the first 3 months with each of them. I had some cramping and with the first I was sure I was having a miscarriage. I even passed some big clots of bright blood.
Today that baby boy is 27 years old and perfectly healthy. And back then ultrasounds were not high tech and couldn't give me a good answer.

I'll be thinking of you and hoping that everything turns out okay. Let us know!
