During pregnancy, the cervix (the bottom of your uterus and the part that opens and stretches during labor) is highly vascular. This means it has a lot of blood vessels, so it can bleed easily. If your cervix is irritated during pregnancy, it may cause some brownish-pink discharge. This can happen at any point during your pregnancy. It may be caused by sex or even an infection. I would advise you to meet your obstetrician to do a cervical check so that your wife can be examined and the possibility of infections can be ruled out. If the problem persists or worsens visit the obstetrician at the earliest.
