Girls will you please do research on periods during pregnancy.?

Q: Please take some time to yourself to do some research on this subject. you CANNOT have a period and be PREGNANT!!!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.

A: This is one of those topics that there is never going to be a total agreement on, like abortion. There will always be the ones who say yes you can and those of us who say no you can’t.There has been massive research conducted on this issue and all research has pointed to the fact that someone cannot have their period and be pregnant. I cannot say either way, but I do listen to the scientifics of the matter and I would be inclined to agree with you. This was even taught in my parenting classes.It is also told that when the fertilized egg reaches the uterus it burrows into the wall of the uterus. If someone was to have a true period and be pregnant, the egg would be flushed out with the uterine lining. That makes sense to me.But I am not scientist, I can say that I never had the confusion with my pregnancy. I had no bleeding at all.

periods during pregnancy?

Q: I asked this question a moment ago but im really confused with this ,any help would be good..I had bleeding 2months ago for 4 days and i have just had bleeding again this month for 4 days also .Ive been really bloated for the last 3 months and now ive got quite a podgy belly im only a skiny girl .how rare is it for women to have a period like bleeding through pregnancy ?? please help.no horrible answers please.would like genuine help =)

A: You really need to take a Home pregnancy test you can buy them anywhere from Walgreens to the Dollar store. I would guess you are not pregnant though and as far as periods and pregnancy please see how I answered your other question”It always amazes me that Intelligent people ask this question and other intelligent people answer this question with it happens all the time and it is possible. A “period,” or menstrual cycle is the body shedding the lining of your uterus and an UNFERTILIZED egg. If you egg is fertilized this would be a miscarriage not a period therefore you are no longer pregnant. It is not uncommon to have pregnancy related bleeding but this is NOT a period, it is something that really needs to be checked ASAP”

Question: Period during pregnancy??? experienced this?

Q: I am soo confused….im reading info on this and some things are telling me you can’t have a normal period and others are saying you can.I read that it’s not actually a period. Like its decidual bleeding or implanation bleeding. I don’t know how much blood tht would be though. I’m unsure of how many days that would be.I thought i was prego i was having the weird symptoms of it…especially the one of me having realy tender fuller breasts…but then i started my period on the 22nd and its day 3 of having it. It seems pretty normal…and i had realy sharp cramps like realy bad that i usually dont get. I took a prego test while i was on my period just in case and it was negative….could i still be pregnant? I heard about some girls that still had a normal “period” while being pregnant. I’m unsure and i need some answers!Help, thanks!I would especially like to hear from those that have experienced this!and i need details please.

A: Its not really a period because you don’t shed your uterus lining like you do in a period. However some woman do bleed every month just like they would have a period. My grandma didn’t know she was pregnant with her first baby (my uncle) until she was showing because she had a “period” every month on time. But again it isn’t a period because there is no shedding of the uterus lining.
