Bleeding or cramping. Cramping, unfortunately, is a very common sign that your period is going to arrive any day. Most women barely think about their cramps meaning anything else, but it’s possible they are a sign of pregnancy. Here’s how you know. If your cramps are accompanied by light bleeding or spotting, it might be implantation spotting. When your fertilized egg implants itself in the uterine wall to grow a baby, it causes a little havoc in your uterus. This might show up as a light brownish discharge you mistake for blood. You may think your period is ready to begin. However, this might occur a solid week prior to the expected arrival date of your period.
