What Causes Spotting During Pregnancy?

Hi, I am over 33 weeks pregnant with my 1st baby. I have had no bleeding or complications so far at all. Since Saturday I have had 4 days of spotting. The color has been a pinky/brown & the amounts have been very small. The spotting has appeared on the left hand side of my panty liner.

I have not had sex or any vaginal exams that would casue spotting.

Like I said, the total amount over 4 days was the size of a cashew nut.
