I have multicolored mucus?

When I blow my nose, the mucus from the left nostril is bright yellow, while the mucus from the right is clear. I'm recovering from a cold and I'm pregnant. What could be causing the two different colors?

That seems pretty normal for a cold. Seems like one sinus may be more affected than another. You may consider antibiotics if this persists.
Left-sided bacterial sinusitis is most likely diagnosis….should be evaluated.
