Spotting (some TMI) *updated*

I have been very constipated and strained pretty hard about 3 hours ago. I almost expected to bleed a little so when I saw blood just now on the TP, I didn't freakout immediately. I wiped again, more bright red blood. I thought, maybe it's not coming from my vagina so I checked with a mirror. It is coming from my vagina and it's enough that I need a panty liner.
I've heard you can spot from being constipated and straining, but this is bringing flashbacks and I'm trying really hard not to panic. I know I could go to the ER (would be hard because we have DD nd it's so late) but I just feel like there's nothing they could do for me other than tell me if I still have a baby or not.
Anyone else experience this much spotting from straining?

The spotting seemed to be getting better last night, so I just went to bed and decided not to worry. This morning I got up to go pee and there was a lot more blood and some clots. It looked like a light day of my period.
With that amount of blood, I knew I would stress out all day, so I went ahead and came to the ER. I'm waiting for a u/s now.Thank you! I just got home and I'm going to take a long nap.
The doctor said "threatened miscarriage" which I suspected he would, but also said everything looked normal. He kept being very vague, which was annoying, but while the tech was doing the u/s, we were watching everything (been through this enough to know a few things) and the sac and baby were measuring right at 7wks-7wks 2days and the heartbeat was 153-160! I'm following up with my OB tomorrow, but I'm very hopeful that this baby is going to stick around! I am still spotting a little, but I know that can happen and everything be okay.
