Is cramping and spotting normal?

@Rema I have my first actual scan on Wednesday, so my doctors want me to wait until then to see them about it. I’ve had two dating ultrasounds around 3+2 and 8+5 and they didn’t see anything around then
Im 12+2 today and had some light spotting around week 5, they found a 3cm hematoma in my first ultrasound at week 6 and that hematoma was gone by week 12 but they told me that spotting is something I should expect while I had the hematoma but to keep an eye on the color of that, if it’s light brown is old blood, if it’s bright red and is more than just spotting then I should go to the ER, thankfully that never happened. Also was diagnosed with placenta previa 3 days ago and they told me to keep pelvic rest as that can also triggered bleeding or spotting.
@Gaby Guandique that’s a good thing to keep in mind. My spotting it a brownish color. It’s slightly on the darker side, but mainly just a lightish brown
@Adri that color sounds like old blood too!
That’s a bit more reassuring! Hopefully that’s all it is and it’s not something more
Have you had your first scan? Only reason I ask is because at my first ultrasound they found two hematomas in my uterus and they said it usually resolves on its own. I had some spotting at 8 weeks and I’m almost 9 weeks now and no more spotting.
