Cough and blood stained phlegm (sorry tmi)

I'm currently 23 weeks pregnant, with my last pregnancy I suffered with catarrh in the first trimester.
This pregnancy it hasn't disappeared yet. Plus, I caught a cold approx a fortnight ago and my remaining sympton is the phlegm (and cough) I keep finding it brown or bloody.
Will this clear up on its own, is it just a just a remaining sympton of my cold?
help appreciated, I tried to google my symptoms and wished I hadn't.

You need to go to the drs asap as it could be TB. not trying to scare you.

P.s.

I had the flu at 3 months pregnant, I had very bad morning sickness, lots of vomiting, and a very bad cough and never coughed up blood. Hope you are ok

I think you should go to the doctors. It is not unusual for me to cough up blood but it usually means an infection and once pneumonia. Don't panic, but do get it seen to.

Its very likely you have some little blood vessels that burst when you coughed hard - all things bloody seem to be more so when pg. But I agree with the others, get to a doctor - no one else can reassure you properly and you should get your chest listened to just in case its an infection!
