Is it possible to have a period whilst pregnant?.?

Question

I was just having a bit of a debate with my friend about this and she reckons it does happen, can you settle this argument please? thanks :-).

Answer 1

NO YOU CANNOT! dont listen to your friend or some of these women on here. just because you bleed doesnt mean its a period! a period means your empyting your contents of the uterus if you had a period while pregnant you would lose the baby! now you can bleed in the first couple of months when you were supposed to have your period because of low hormones but this is only spotting not a full blown regular periods. and their wouldnt be any cramping. ALSO some women do bleed like a period, but its not their period and can be because of placenta previa, cervix issues, v****a issues etc...and usually it doesnt have the flow of a period..[start of light, go heavy, end light and lasts for days]

the only way you can have a actual period is if you had a biocarnate uterus where your uterus is split in half[ovulate on one side, pregnant on the other] but these pregnancies end in miscarriage as you cant have a period and be pregnant.

Answer 2

No- because that's when you ovulate and your body, once it find out it's pregnant, stops this.

Answer 3

yes, it is possible. some women do, some women don't, just depends on the person! in fact, some women don't even get a "missed period" before they find out they're pregnant, they just have lighter ones..promise!

Answer 4

No, you cannot be pregnant and have a period. Please look at the sources

Answer 5

It's actually possible but pretty unlikely. It DOES happen though. Happened to me :)

Answer 6

No, no and no again... It is possible to bleed while pregnant, but you cannot have a proper period during pregnancy.

Answer 7

It's impossible it doesn't happen x

If it does then your not pregnant xx

love luciee x

Answer 8

Yes it is possible for a woman to have a period during pregnancy, sometimes several, also people can go right through their pregnancies having periods (my cousin did with both of hers). She was definately pregnant as well, she has a son and a daughter, Lewis and Abbey

It is a little strange, i would presume though that they aren't as heavy as usual (non pregnancy) periods, as if they were there wouldn't be any lining in the womb for the fertilised egg to be implanted into. It does happen but it's not common.

Answer 9

Hi yeah you can have a period throughout the whole pregnancy my mate had one each month and it happened on the same date each month too. Quite scary like.:)

Answer 10

Impossible

Answer 11

Rare, but possible.  

Answer 12

its normal to spot occasionally, but not to have a full on period i wouldnt have thought

Answer 13

it cannot happen!!

Answer 14

it is possible my friend had periods up unitll the 5th month of her pregnancy an didnt even know she was pregnant. obviously its not a proper Period because periods flush out unfertilised eggs but you can have them and there are people like my cuz that had periods all through the hole of her pregnancy.

Answer 15

shes shitting ya

Answer 16

it can happen

Answer 17

The human body is incredibly complex,  and extraordinary things are present in perfectly ordinary people.

Its far from impossible, not common though.

Answer 18

I have 3 kids. I had my period for 3 months on two of my pregnancies (however somewhat light periods).  Gynecologist said it is not common but it happens.

Answer 19

I've heard it can happen but it's never happened to me or anyone I know.

Also the bleeding that the women may think is her period could be coming from something else which is something she'd have to talk to her doctor about.
