periods during pregnancy?

[athelas]

I just wondered.. is it still possible to have light bleeding during pregnancy.. If I remember rightly when i was pregnant with my son 21 years ago; I didnt even realise i was pregnant for three months cos.. I still had light periods during that time. they did stop after then, and i took a test and was told I was three months pregnant.. Just wondered if that is likely to happen again, or if any other ladies have experienced this?  This did not occur when I fell pregnant with my daughter 8 years ago.. so maybe it wa s a one off???  would welcome advice or comments on this.. thanks:)

I am trying to conceive.  My last period was March 5th......which would mean that I am late this month.  My cycle is normally 24-25 days.  I have been having pregnancy symptoms but neg hpt.  Last night I bled for just a little bit.  Not much but bright red blood with mucus.  Today there's nothing.  Is it possible that I'm pregnant?

Have you talk to your dr about it?  I think is normal for some women.  My grandmother had a period until she was 6 months pregnant with my mother and everything went ok.

Light bleeding or spotting during first trimester is very common.  They refer to it as a threatened miscarriage, yet most of these preganancies go on to be healthy and successful.  It's very very common!!!

Yes...it's possible to spot /bleed during pregnancy...sometimes women don't even realize they're pregnant because they spot during their pregnancies.
