Answer 1

yes its true, but its not a full period its a lighter flow


If you are pregnant, you have probably heard about other women who have their periods during pregnancy. This story seems to cycle throughout the generations and is almost an urban legend now. Everyone seems to know someone who has a friend who got their period during their pregnancy!
Many women can experience episodes of bleeding and spotting during pregnancy. Bleeding is especially common in the first trimester and about 30% of pregnant women experience bleeding during this time. Although fewer women bleed during the second and third trimesters, spotting is still possible and not all that uncommon. However, though this bleeding may resemble menstruation, it actually is something different altogether.

Why You Can’t Get Your Period During Pregnancy
Your period is caused by your menstrual cycle. During this cycle, your body releases hormones, which send signals to your reproductive organs to perform certain actions. An increase in your hormones causes your ovaries to release an egg that travels from your ovaries through your fallopian tubes. Meanwhile, a protective layer of blood and tissue thickens along the walls of your uterus. If this egg is not fertilized, your hormone levels will drop, signaling to your body that it is time to shed the lining that built up in your uterus. This is what causes your period.

During pregnancy, your body is completely focused on providing for your baby. Your brain sends signals to your ovaries to stop the menstrual cycle in order to give your baby the proper environment to grow. As a result, instead of dropping, your hormone levels will continue to rise for the next nine months. This helps your uterus prepare for the growth and nourishment of your baby.

If your body continued to have regular menstrual periods while you were pregnant, it would be shedding the uterine lining that helps nourish your baby every month. Biologically speaking, this wouldn’t make much sense. Therefore, the spotting or bleeding during pregnancy many women experience is caused by something other than their period.

Answer 2

no you cant have a period when your pregnant bleeding is very dangerous and if you bleed whilst being pregnant go to the doctor or hospital straight away as it could be life freatening to the both of you if you bleed before 12 weeks with pain in your shoulder it could be an eptopic pregnancy
if you have other bleeding it could be placenta previa where the placenta covers your servix and you will need a c-section
or it could be placenta abrution where the placenta comes away from the liling of the womb

hope this helps good luck

Answer 3

It wouldn't be a "period".You can have a little spotting around the time that your period is due.This is called implantation bleeding.Implantation bleeding usually last a day or two and doesn't require anything heavier then a panty liner.

Answer 4

It can occur, but it is not usual.
What is most likely is that when the embryo is implanting, it can cause spotting of blood. Sometimes this spotting is heavy enough to resemble menstruation.
There are rare instances where some women menstruate throughout their pregnancy.
Please see your doctor if you have any concerns.
Best Wishes!

its not consider that you have your period what will happen is you'll have light stains of blood but its not going to last as long as a normal period for example if it's 4 days it may last 2 days if you have a regular cycle of 28days. take a pregnancy test 12 days after.

Answer 6

While it does happen it is rare. If you are concerned about it talk to your doctor.

Answer 7
