Spotting is a very light flow. It is something that may barely, or not even, fill a pantyliner throughout the course of the day (or couple of days for that matter). Spotting doesn't really include the loss of any tissue (shedding of the lining of the uterus). Usually it is a very light pink color, but it could also be bright red (new oxygenated blood) or more brown (old, deoxygenated blood).
During pregnancy, any bleeding is referred to as vaginal bleeding. It has nothing to do with a period as pregnancy and periods cannot co-exist. Vaginal bleeding is caused by something other than your period and in this case it sounds more like implantation bleeding (if it is early in the pregnancy).
However, any vaginal bleeding should be reported to your doctor as well as any detail you can provide regarding flow, color, any odors, frequency, and any other concurrent symptoms. Your doctor will want to evaluate it to determine a cause (though it is often difficult to determine an exact cause) and be sure that it is not something serious; although it is usually a very normal occurrence and means no harm.
