Umm I read this on a sticky it said "you
can have your period and still be
pregnant" just so I know how could this be
possible?
Could you explain?
Thanks.

Some women experience a period like
bleeding during their pregnancy.
It isn't common.
Many women can experience episodes of
bleeding and spotting during pregnancy.
Bleeding is especially common in the first
trimester and about 30% of pregnant women
experience bleeding during this time.
Although fewer women bleed during the
second and third trimesters, spotting is
still possible and not all that uncommon.
However, though this bleeding may resemble
menstruation, it actually is something
different altogether.
One of the most common causes of
period-like bleeding during pregnancy is
called decidual bleeding. Sometimes,
during pregnancy, your body’s hormones
can get out of whack, causing you to lose
parts of the lining of your uterus. This
is especially common in the early stages
of pregnancy, before the lining has
completely attached to the placenta.
While it can be troublesome to think about
shedding part if your uterine lining,
decidual bleeding is generally not thought
to be a health threat to you or your baby.

Right I get it...
As a follow up question: during what weeks
of pregnancy does this happen?
Approximately? Any idea?

as with the potential to get this, when a
person might get it would vary.
The chances of having what appears to be a
full period are very, very low.
