Yes!
It happened to me, and I had 3 kids at the time. I had 2 periods before I realized that I was almost 3 months pregnant.
It's not common, yet not un-common. As long as you and your baby are healthy I wouldn't worry about it.

Answer: Well, no, you can't get your period once you're pregnant — once your body starts producing the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) and your pregnancy is established, your menstrual cycle is interrupted and normal periods will stop — but you may have bleeding or spotting during pregnancy that can seem like a period.
Some pregnant women have what's called "implantation bleeding" that can happen around the time their period is due, and they may mistake that bleeding for a period. This spotting may be caused by the fertilized egg burrowing into the blood-rich lining of the uterus (a process that starts just 6 days after fertilization) and it's generally a lot lighter than a typical period — just a day or two of very light spotting.
If you're pregnant and you're not sure when your last period started, this can make establishing a due date difficult for your healthcare provider. If you have any doubts, your practitioner can feel how big your uterus is with a pelvic examination and estimate how far along you are. In most cases, your provider will also order an ultrasound before midpregnancy to measure the size of your developing baby to clarify exactly when the baby is due.
Many women who bleed a little bit in early pregnancy go on to deliver without any complications, but bleeding can also be a cause for concern. It may be the first sign of a miscarriage; if so, your symptoms will probably go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding much heavier than a normal period. If you have sharp pains in your lower abdomen, especially if the pain is only on one side, you should see your practitioner right way to find out if you may have an ectopic pregnancy (also known as a tubal pregnancy). Because of these potential complications, if you bleed at all early in your pregnancy, it's best to notify your doctor or midwife to get specific instructions. She may suggest getting a blood test to check your hCG levels or order an ultrasound to evaluate your condition more thoroughly.

Yes you can. I did and ended up with what seemed like the world's shortest pregnancy, cuz I didn't know I was pregnant. Got it for 3 months and found out I was pregnant at 16+ weeks along.

some people say that you can still have your cycle and some say that it's a sign of miscarriage!! the only thing to do is to go and see your doctor to be sure! the bleeding could've been a miscarriage, implantation bleeding, the attachment to the uterine wall, or old blood from your previous cycle! It could be an urinary tract infection just depending upon your body and hormones! call your doctor and tell them what's going on!! Most women that have bleeding end up having a healthy baby and everything turns out well! Good luck and be sure to call your doctor

Yes.
Some women do experience bleeding during pregnancy, but technically it is not a menstrual period. A very light or short "period" or spotting is one of several common early symptoms of pregnancy.
It can also mean you are miscarrying so you might want to consult a physician.

Yes you can. I had my period all throughout my pregnancy. The only way to find out how far along you are is to see a doctor. You can also take a home pregnancy test if you want to know if you are pregnant.

Was it a "normal" period? (What ever "normal" is for you...) Break through bleeding is not uncommon early in a pregnancy, but it really isn't a period... If your "period" was at 3 months you need to get checked out, hon, this is abnormal and not a good sign.

Yes you can still have your period when you are pregnant. You need to go see a doctor immediately if you think you are pregnant.
