How is it possible to still be pregnant?

Question

can somebody tell me how if your heavily bleeding for days[ like a period] and cramping that you could still be pregnant? i hear stories like this and is afraid i could be one of those people who think they are not pregnant because they are having an actual period!

Answer 1

Some women are pregnant with multiples and will have a miscarriage of one and have the other or other babies.

It's not common though a woman would have full blown bleeding like a period and not be having a miscarriage.

Answer 2

It does happen to a lot of ppl you can get your period till your 4 months prego...This happen to my sister she was on birth control pills and she would get her regular period until one day she almost fainted and they did blood work for her and they told her she was 3 months prego yes it can happen....I think the way you find out is you get symptoms of pregnancy and thats when you have take HPT so if you ever feel bad or anything just get the doubt off your mind and take a HPT Good Luck  

Answer 3

You can't have a " actual " period it's spotting . I had it and know. If you are having a regular period flow you are not pregnant.  OR if you are indeed pregnant and bleeding heavily there is a serious problem. Please do not be scared of all the malarkey that women had their " periods ' while pregnant - major difference.

Good luck

Amina **** thats what I'm talking about those that said yes have put no logic into it - its just hear say that so and so had their periods . Really don't be scared at those answers I think Poppy and I explained it well :)

Answer 4

whether you want to be told or not the only way to know would be to take a test, women who have that may start feeling some of symptoms of being pregnant which will lead them to take a test...my boyfriends mom had her period for the first 3 months of her pregnancy.

Answer 5

I got a period with this pregnancy I didn't suspect being pregnant at all.  I started to have more symptoms of pregnancy and then missed a period the next month so that's when I took a test took me a while before i knew
