I tested positive last week but now im seeing some bleeding similar to my period and im so confused. Can u actually get periods while being pregnant or is this something else? Planning to call my gynac but wanted to hear ur experiences too.
Technically no, true menstruation stops in pregnancy. Some spotting can happen and feels confusing, but its not the same thing. If you see any bleeding just ring your doctor to be sure, okay.
No, you cant get an actual period while pregnant. I bled once in pregnancy and assumed it was period, but it needed checking. Please dont brush off bleeding thinking its monthly, get it looked at, especially if its red or with pain.
My gynac cleared this for me, a real period is not possible once youre pregnant because the lining doesnt shed. What people call period is usually spotting or bleeding from other reasons. So any bleeding during pregnancy should be told to the doctor, its not a period.
I had this exact doubt because I got light bleeding around the time my period was due. Doctor said its not a real period, just early spotting. Confused me a lot at first too honestly.
