NORMAL PERIOD WHILE PREGNANT
by crazylady18, Aug 14, 2007 04:03PM
Okay listen i dont mean to sound rude or anything but whats with all these women saying they have had friends that have had normal periods during thier pregnancy? Do you have any idea what a period is? its the shedding of the inner wall of your uterus. if u were pregnant than the baby would not be able to survive this. my only problem with these women saying they had normal periods while pregnant is that they are mistaking a "period" with implantation bleeding or other forms of bleeding. when u post comments on this website and say that u have had friends or u yourself have had periods while pregnant people read this and become confused. not all women reading these comments want to be pregnant. some women are tring to find out possibilities that they are not pregnant. i know it doesnt seem like a big deal to call any form of bleeding a "period" but when a "period" is the last clue to tell you your not pregnant, than all of a sudden we can take off the " "
on period and start understanding that a period is a lot different from just any "bleeding."
thank you for reading this comment and by all means if anyone can prove that a period is possible while being pragnant scientificly and medically i will be happy to repost another comment stating my lack of knowlege and ignorance to this matter....
thank u for your time.

No one is looking to "prove" anything.
And, yes, most women who have period-like bleeding at regular intervals realize that it is NOT an actual period -- no ovulation, no complete shedding of the uterine lining, blah, blah, blah, blah.
People on this site are looking for information, shared experiences and support...not medical degrees. Technically it is not a period, but when used here it is rather to denote bleeding that falls in a "normal" cycle and/or often occurs for a "normal" length -- and is more than just spotting. While not usual, it does happen to some women. And "normal" is to refer to what is typical for that person...but I think you knew all of this when you posted.
So hopefully that clears you up so that you can move onto bigger and better things.
