Sounds basic na but i genuinely never understood the actual reason behind it. Now that im expecting im curious how the body knows to stop periods. Anyone who can explain simply?
Periods stop because your body is supporting the pregnancy now. But remember, any bleeding or spotting during pregnancy is not normal, so please consult your gynac immediately if you experience it.
Your body is busy building a cozy home for the baby, so it puts the monthly periods on hold! With twins, my body was doing double work, so I was honestly very glad to get a break from periods. 😂
It's simple biology. The menstrual cycle stops because the uterus is now occupied with growing the baby. If you do see any bleeding during pregnancy, it is not a period and you should contact your doctor right away.
My mummy used to say that during these 9 months, the body stops bleeding to protect and nourish the baby inside. It's nature's way of keeping the baby safe, which makes total sense!
I am planning to conceive and reading up on this! Basically, once the egg is fertilized and implants, the body releases hormones to keep the uterine lining intact instead of shedding it. It's so fascinating how our bodies work!
Having PCOS made my periods so irregular, but during pregnancy, they stop completely because of hormonal changes that support the baby. If you ever notice any bleeding or spotting, don't ignore it thinking it's a period, check with your doctor immediately.
Actually, it's all about hormones yaar. Once you conceive, progesterone levels stay high to keep the uterine lining safe for the baby, so there's no shedding of blood. That's why periods stop completely!
