Can someone have periods in 4th month of pregnancy?

Question

I'm already in my fourth month, but I've experienced some light bleeding, which looks somewhat like a period. Is it possible to have periods even at this stage of pregnancy? I'm quite concerned.

In my family, elders say some spotting can happen, but bleeding in the second trimester is definitely not a period. Please trust your doctor on this and go for a check-up immediately. It is better to get an ultrasound done to make sure baby is safe.

Seedhi baat batau toh pregnancy me periods nahi ho sakte, specialy 4th month me. Agar bleeding ho rahi hai toh ye periods nahi hain, kuch aur issue ho sakta hai. Bina late kiye abhi ke abhi apni gynac se contact karo.

I totally understand how scary it is to see blood when you are expecting your little miracle. But sweetheart, this is not a period, and you need to get it checked by your gynac immediately. Sending you lots of prayers and strength, please update us after seeing the doctor.

Mere PCOS ke vajah se main periods ko leke humesha confused rehti thi, but pregnancy me 4th month me bleeding natural nahi hai. This is not a normal period and can be risky. Please consult your doctor immediately to check what's causing this bleeding.

Oh god, periods are the only thing we get a break from during these 9 months! Honestly, if you're bleeding in your 4th month, it's not a period and needs immediate medical attention. My heavy bump and I suggest you call your gynac right away.

Actually, bleeding during the second trimester is not normal at all, so please don't mistake it for a regular period. When I was pregnant, my doctor strictly told me to report even a tiny drop of blood. Please contact your hospital team right now.

Let's be very clear, you cannot get periods once you are pregnant. If you are experiencing bleeding in your 4th month, it is an emergency warning sign. Get in touch with your obstetrician immediately and get it checked.

Oh no, I am also in my 4th month and my doc said any bleeding now is a red flag, not a period. Has anyone else experienced spotting this late and had everything be fine? Pls check with your doctor immediately, I hope everything is safe.
