True or False??

Question

Women have regular menstral cycles during pregnancy??? Why or why not?

Answer 1

No it's not true because once you are pregnant you stop ovulating and start again usually few weeks after you give birth.
Once you become pregnant the progesterone hormones will keep raising and the estrogen hormone will go down which regulates cycles every month so you won't keep ovulating and bleeding during pregnancy

Answer 2

False. Pregnancy triggers a cascade of a variety of hormones, some of which ultimately prevent you from ovulating and having your period. But think about it-- it would be dangerous for a woman to ovulate while she is pregnant-- there is no need to risk the chance of developing a second pregnancy (unlikely, but dangerous). Some of the other hormones will control mammary development, as well as help regulate the body during pregnancy.

Answer 3

True sort of... Some actually do have a period during pregnancy, but this is not at all common. Women who bleed during prenancy need to see their doctor to make sure the pregnancy is not ectopic (outside the womb). I'm not sure what cause a period during pregnancy, but it is very uncommon to continue having a period after the first month (which isn't as uncommon as you would think).

Answer 4

False. A woman may experience spotting during pregnancy, however, the menstrual cycle is interrupted in pregnant women. Women who are pregnant may experience symptoms such as nausea, breast tenderness and swelling, increased urination, tiredness, headaches, mood swings, and other symptoms; when these symptoms begin varies from woman to woman. If you think you might be pregnant, it is recommended that you visit clinician for a pregnancy test.

Answer 5

False women do not have menstrual cycles during pregnancy. That is where the term I'm late comes from. when you have no period and it does not come you are probably pregnant or over 40.

Answer 6

False

Answer 7

False, women do not ovulate during pregnancy. Learn the reasons why in health class ;)

Answer 8

False. You can have one light period at the very begining of your pregnancy, but any bleeding after that should be reported to a doctor. Your period is where your body sheds the lining of your uterus. If there's a baby in there, then you need that lining!

Answer 9

True! Not all women do, but some do indeed. My mother did. No one is certain why this happens though it is thought to be a mild hormone imbalance. Also, women with placenta previa are much more likely to have that happen.

Answer 10

Some women actually do. It's not abnormal. That's why some women don't find out till much later that they're pregnant. They don't have any indicator telling them othewise, such as no period. Unless, there is abnormal heavy bleeding I wouldn't worry to much about it.
