Help! Anyone else had this happen?

Ni
I'll try to keep it short, but I am 18 weeks pregnant and on Monday my husband and I had sex. I've been feeling a weird pressure when we do so we try to find the best position and just ride it out (no pun intended). After we were done I had some cramping/lingering pressure for about 20-30 minutes before it subsided. Then yesterday I noticed I had some light cramping, which is actually normal for me up to this point, but in a slightly odd spot. Last night I suddenly had a lot of discharge that looked like a mucus plug but it was all white with a tiny spot of brown in there; so faint that I barely caught it. I sent a message to my doctor just to confirm that it was normal and left it alone for the night. 
This morning the doctor called me to ask me about miscarriage history (never had one and this is my first baby), and they sounded a bit concerned. She told me call back if I have any more cramping or any new bleeding and instantly got my next appointment scheduled. My question is, should I be worried? I still have slight cramping but it is no different than what I experience each day. I've been told to abstain from sex and just keep an eye on things but I don't know if I should call them again or not. Has this happened to anyone else? I assumed it was normal since discharge happens a lot during pregnancy
Thanks!
