Kim, first of all . I know how scary this is. I had some spotting start when pg with Lily at about 9wks for about 2 wks, with some cramping. I was scared $hitless. With my 2 prior pg I had the same thing. And it just makes you analise every pg symptom even more. But it was all fine after those 2 wks and now I have a little terror to drive me insane everyday (LOL!!). As others have said it is common, but being a nurse I'm sure you know that. If it gets worse or the cramping starts to get ouchy, go to your closest hospital. It must be hard being in the sticks. Tyr to keep busy, but not too active to keep your mind occupied.
