No you cannot have a period and be pregnant.  When you have a period you are shedding your uterine lining.  When you are pregnant your lining thickens in order for an embryo to implant and that lining doesnt shed until after u deliver. The bleeding you are experiencing is caused by something else.  An infection, a uti, sex, henatoma, low lying placenta can all cause period like bleeding.  It is not normal although you can have these conditions and everything b fine.  You need to see an  obgyn for proper diagnosis.  Good luck.

Unless you have a second uterus, it almost definitely is not a period. Do you have a doctor? Have you spoken to them at all about this?

I went to 2 different ones and they told me the same thing. One said it was my period and did the ultrasound and said the baby is fine and the other said that it looks like a period but that it should stop in a few days cuz my cervix or something was sowllen or something like that

Actually, it's impossible for a female to have a period while pregnant. For a hospital to tell you this makes me wonder how good they actually are.

I'm sorry if I repeat anything you know, but it describes the basics of a females body.

When a females reaches the age of puberty, her body will go through dozens of changes. One of these is starting her menstrual cycle. A female will usually ovulate 2 weeks before her cycle starts. During this time, the lining in the uterus will start to thicken in preparation for a child. You will then ovulate, and have around a 12-24 hour time frame of viability. If the egg remains unfertilized, the egg dissolves and your body then sheds the tissue in the form of bleeding. If the egg IS fertilized, it will then start to divide and after 7-14 days will implant into this lining. If you shed this lining while pregnant, the egg (which is attached) will then be flushed out with the rest. So if a female has a TRUE period while pregnant, she will miscarry.

Now, it IS possible to just bleed while pregnant. There are many different forms of what causes bleeding as well. You could have a subchorionic hematoma, decidual bleeding, irritation to the cervix or you could be miscarrying. You need addition testing as well as an ultrasound to see what is going on. I encourage you to visit a different hospital than the one you went to see however.
