Q: I Am 16 Weeks...why Am I Spotting And Cramping?

Crying or Very sad I am 24, pregnant and afraid. Its been about three days of "spotting" ( a brownish discharge ) accompanied with some mild cramps and occassional sharps pains in my lower stomach. I am high risk because of a autoimmune disease I have and I dont know if that could be a reason for the spotting. Everyone (doctor) I talk to has said that its normal to see spotting and have some cramping. But im not so sure. It seems like it would be easy enough to reassure me by giving me an ultrasound and checking the babies heart beat, but for some strange reason, doctors are so " hands off" when it comes to giving ultrasounds. I dont understand why we cant have one every visit. Probably cause it would just take up too much of there time.

I have been pregnant previously and my experience was much more real than it has been this pregnancy so far. I mean, I dont feel pregnant! I havent had hardly any morning sickness, little heartburn, and just no movement. The only way I know Im pregnant is that I havent had a period...yet!!! Im scared. I need answers. HELP!!!
