Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
I am Dr Ramadevi Wani.
I will be answering your concerns today.

Since you are sexually active then this probably could be implantation bleeding
Your expected period is on March 4th. So you probably ovulated around 19-20th of February. Since you had intercourse around this time, the egg must have been fertilized and as it implants (burrows) into the wall of the uterus light pink/brownish discharge can be seen in 1/3 of women. This is normal and does not harm the baby. So get your pregnancy test done.

A small possibility that this could be ovulation spotting. You must have ovulated late and this is ovulation bleeding. Ovulation bleeding is seen as discharge just for a day or two. In some women it can be seen for more days.

I hope I have answered your concerns.
