Answer 1

It's not always possible to determine the cause of prenatal spotting or bleeding. Because the blood supply to your cervix and pelvis has increased, it's not unusual to notice spotting after a Pap smear, an internal exam, or sex. Some other culprits include:

Implantation bleeding You may have some light spotting for a day or two at about the time when the fertilized egg burrows into the wall of your uterus. This is a process that starts just six to seven days after fertilization, so you wouldn't even know you were pregnant yet.

Miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy Spotting or bleeding can be an early sign of miscarriage or an ectopic pregnancy, especially if accompanied by abdominal pain or cramping. (Bleeding can also signal a molar pregnancy, a relatively rare condition in which abnormalities in the fertilized egg at conception make it impossible for the embryo to develop or survive.)

Up to a quarter of pregnant women have some spotting or bleeding in early pregnancy, and about half of these women miscarry. But if you have an ultrasound that shows a normal heartbeat between 7 and 11 weeks, your chances of continuing the pregnancy are greater than 90 percent.

Infections Spotting can also be caused by conditions unrelated to pregnancy. A vaginal infection (such as a yeast infection or bacterial vaginosis) or a sexually transmitted infection (such as trichomoniasis, gonorrhea, chlamydia, or herpes) can cause your cervix to become irritated or inflamed. An inflamed cervix is particularly prone to spotting after sex or a Pap smear. You may also spot or bleed after sex or a Pap smear if you have a cervical polyp (a benign growth).

Placental problems or premature labor In the second or third trimester, bleeding or spotting can be a sign of a serious condition such as placenta previa, placental abruption (in which the placenta separates from the uterus), a late miscarriage (between 13 weeks and midpregnancy), or premature labor (between midpregnancy and 37 weeks).

Even first trimester bleeding may be a sign of an underlying problem with the placenta. Research shows a link between early pregnancy bleeding and an increased risk of later complications, such as preterm delivery or placental abruption, particularly if the bleeding is heavy.

Normal labor A mucus discharge that's tinged with blood after 37 weeks is most likely just a sign that the mucus plug has dislodged and the cervix is beginning to soften or open in preparation for labor. You should still report any other bleeding or spotting at this point to your practitioner.

Answer 2

Women have twins because of 1 or 2 reasons.1. More than one egg is released or 2. An egg splits (therefor creating identical twins) As for the periods. You are not ovulating still or else people would be getting pregnant multiple times during ONE pregnancy. Some women tend to bleed for various reasons, most of which is harmless.

Answer 3

You ovulate about 14 days before you bleed. Actually, the bleeding part is because your body forms this protective layer of blood and fluids in your uterus, in preparation for a baby to be there and be nestled nicely and all that jazz. And then when your body realizes it's not pregnant, it gets rid of that blood/fluids which it doesn't need, and that is a period, technically.

And so a woman also can get twins because one egg will be fertilized by two sperm and it will split (this is identical twins b/c they are form the same egg) or two eggs will be fertilized (one egg, one sperm), and then the twins are not identical.

Answer 4

No. Actually they are experiencing a flux in their hormones enough to cause them to bleed a little, usually during the time their normal periods would have been expected. It's very unusual, however, and even when they do have a "period", it's usually not like their regular period.

Answer 5

Just because you are bleeding doesn't mean you are ovulating
