JennaC11,

Have you been you your OB/GYN to confirm your pregnancy? If not, please do so. Light spotting early on in pregnancy is common and does not necessarily mean that there is anything wrong in the pregnancy. However, you should always get seen by a doctor to determine the cause of bleeding-- although it may not be a miscarriage, this is just a chance you shouldn't be willing to take. 

Please see your doctor as soon as possible and keep us posted.
