do pregnant women menstrate?

Question

i mean my aunt is 7 months pregnant and she doesnot menstrate so am just curious, does it mean they dont menstrate until they complete the 9 months?

Answer 1

no, you do not menustrate when you are pregnant. menustration is the cycle a woman goes through naturally, her body prepares a lining every month in her uterus for a fertilized egg to attach to. at ovulation, an egg is released from the ovary, into the fallopian tube and awaits a sperm to fertilize it. if it does not get fertilized, the egg will descent from the fallopian tube and out of the woman's body(you can't really see it though). the lining of the uterus also sheds at this time, because their is no baby to live in it. thus, menustration.

Answer 2

On average pregnant women menustrate for the first three months of pregnancy. After that it is unusual even though there are several women who menustrate upto seven months or the entire nine months.
Menstration is the female bodies way of cleaning out your womb. If there is a baby there, there is no need for cleaning, till after the birth.
Once your aunt has the baby, she will start to menstrate. Sometimes woman can go as long as two weeks after delivery.

Answer 3

No, pregnant women do not menstrate. This is often the first clue a woman has that she is pregnant - a missed period.

However, some women continue to have light bleeding throughout the pregnancy.

Answer 4

Menstruation is the completion of the ovulation cycle, where the unfertilized egg is ejected. If you're already pregnant, there will be no more eggs waiting to be fertilized until you have the baby, because if there was, you could become pregnant with that egg while carrying the fetus. Thus, you cannot have a period while you're pregnant.

Answer 5

you do not have a period when your pregnant, that's one way of knowing you are pregnant. After the baby is born you menstrate, for a month after.

Answer 6

I understand what everyone else is saying, but it's not absolutely true that NOBODY menstruates when they're pregnant. That's the way it normally happens, but I had a period every month until I was four months pregnant. Unusual, I know, but it can happen. My daughter was born healthy, full term, 5 months after my last period.

Answer 7

You don't have a period when you are pregnant that is usually the first sign of being pregnant. After the baby is born you bleed for 4-6 weeks but it isn't your actual period. You don't get an actual period for up to a year depending on how long you breast feed. Usually breast feeding keeps you from getting your period too.

Answer 8

Pregnant women do not menstruate (you have to ovulate to menstruate), although there is sometimes bleeding for different reasons throughout the pregnancy.

If a woman delivers her baby and then breastfeeds exclusively, her period might also be delayed even more, sometimes up to 2 years.

Answer 9

You dont have a period but some women do experience something similar to a period.My sister bled for the first 5mos of her pregnancy and just thought it was a lighter period each month.

Answer 10

Well, i certainly hope pregnant women don't have their periods. You wouldn't want the uterine lining to be flushed out every month when there's a baby inside.
