Not sure.: What you are describing sounds like some light spotting, and your OB would be able to give you reassurance if things are ok. Sometimes sex can cause spotting, but you might not know the exact cause, and it might not be related to anything you are doing. Straining can cause hemorrhoids and sometimes these can bleed. Avoid straining, and talk to your doctor more about your concerns.

During my first pregnancy, i experienced light brown discharge at 14 weeks than mild red bleeding at 19 weeks. Both times doctor said everything was fine & my pregnancy was healthy. Would my next pregnancy be considered high risk?
