Stress and anxiety could very well be the reason your period flow has become lighter. During periods of prolonged high stress, your body produces more of the hormone, cortisol, which does effect the menstrual cycle.
Some women will have spotting during their pregnancies. This is not the same as having a period.
When you have your period, the flow that you see is the lining of your uterus that is being shed.
During pregnancy, the developing fetus is attached to the uterine lining. If you are shedding the lining, you are losing the pregnancy.
