Amy,

I remember seeing spotting in my pregnancy and asked my doc.. well turns out it was a bladder infection and that was the spotting I saw. yet my Ob said that the cervix is very engorged when pregnant and any little contact could cause some bleeding. Brown blood is older blood. Some women notice that a day or so after sex. It could be that. I would call your Doc though right away to make yourself feel better about it. Let us know how it goes! Try not to worry.
