    I know a friend who did. It's not common, but can still happen. I went to the gyno the other day because I thought I was pregnant, but I had my period. She said that you can still have bleeding. I forget what she called it though. She said if it is brownish or light- then you should get checked out. If it's dark or bright red, then most likely you're not.

    Yes, I had three periods with my first child and did not know I was pregnant until I was 41/2 months. I got sent for a scan due to having an 'odd feeling' in my stomach and a few cramps... I nearly keeled over when the nurse doing the scan said 'there is the baby's head!!!'. It can happen, I now have a 22 year old daughter as living proof!

    you dont have a menstraul period while pregnant. You can have implantation bleeding which is when fertilation takes place and burrows into your uterus which can cause light bleeding. Bleeding and spotting can happen and be safe or could be the sign of a miscarriage but yes you can bleed while pregnant however it is not considered to be your period. If you think you might be pregnant take a test thats the only way to know for sure

    Its rare, but is possible, though it isnt considered a "period" but more so bleeding and spotting, i've heard of some girls having they're "period" up to 4 times while pregnant. Sometimes implantation bleeding can be mistaken for a period also, though implantation bleeding usually is very light, and lasts only less than a day to two days.

    My best friend got her period through her entire pregnancy and didn't even know that she was pregnant until she was 6 months along. That is extremely rare though. Her doctor told her that she was the first person he had seen to have their period all the way through their pregnancy.

    Yes I know someone who had their period until they were 4 months along. She found out she was already 5 months along when she missed a period.

    No, you can't have an actual period while pregnant. You can experience bleeding and spotting though.
