Answer 1

It is definitely possible. If your conception date is questionable, your OB or midwife should order an ultrasound fairly soon in which they will able to determine the gestational age of the baby.

Congratulations, and good luck!

Answer 2

Question: Can you be pregnant and still get your period?

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 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 provider 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 the middle of your pregnancy to measure the size of your developing baby and clarify exactly when the baby is due.

Many women who bleed a little bit in early pregnancy 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 probably will go on to include heavy cramping and bleeding much heavier than a normal period.

Abnormal bleeding can also be a sign of ectopic or tubal pregnancy. 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 have an ectopic pregnancy. A tubal pregnancy can be life-threatening, and sometimes the only symptom is bleeding around the time your period is expected. Often, the period may be lighter than usual. Sometimes a home pregnancy test will be negative, and the pregnancy can only be detected by checking blood hCG levels.

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.

Answer 3

You have to take that up with your doctor. If you think you are further along he might can do an ultra sound or something. But, remember gas and indigestion feel almost the same as fluttering. I have 3 kids and my yongest is 6 and I sometimes feel like I am pregnant because I feel that fluttering in my stomache. When it is just gas. Yes, I am women enough to say it.

Answer 4

I read somewhere that a woman that has been pregnant more than once will know the signs to look oout for and can in fact feel fluttering before a first timer. A woman whose pregnant for the first time is oblivious to little movements but a woman who has been there before seems to have heighten senses or something.

Answer 5

yeah it could happen as u can still have periods all the way through the pregnacy the only way to find out will be to get a scan to check the size and then the nurses would tell u then but i think that u could be bout 3 months

Answer 6

some times our period will keep coming even when we are pregnant. Some women have their period the whole 9 months but best to talk to your doctor to make sure nothing is wrong.

Answer 7

After having five children you would be far more aware of the changes in your body and yes you could in fact feel some type of movement. Good luck to you.

Answer 8

I've had eight children and could feel fluttering at sixteen weeks where as with my first didn't know i was pregnant till i was 21 weeks lol

Answer 9

One of my friends (who is very overweight) had her period till the month she delivered. She didn't know she was pregnant and was having severe pain (labor) and went to the ER and found out that she was delivering a baby. Can you imagine that happening!!?? So yea it is possible. lol!

Answer 10

You start to feel baby movements sooner when you have had kids before. You are more in tune with it and can recognize it sooner than a first time mother.

However, it could be gas.
