Periods and Pregnancy: What to Expect During Pregnancy

No, it is impossible to have a period while pregnant, even if you have irregular periods. When you are pregnant, the fertilized egg implants in the uterus and begins to develop into a fetus. This process causes hormonal changes that prevent ovulation and menstruation. As a result, you will not have a period during pregnancy.

If you are experiencing bleeding during pregnancy, it is important to see your doctor as soon as possible to determine the cause. Bleeding during pregnancy can be a sign of a number of problems, including miscarriage, ectopic pregnancy, or placental abruption.
