Normal Period During pregnancy

I was curious as to if it is at all possible to have a normal period (with cramps) during pregnancy?

I don't want to scare you you could be going through something totally different but I was 18 weeks pregnant and had that big ball of blood your talking about come out I went straight to the emergency room come to find out that ball of blood was a membrane and my cervix had ripped... I had been rushed by ambulance to a better hospital they said they could stitch the cervix back in place but the doc came in and said without the membrane it wouldn't work and because I was taken to a catholic hospital they wouldn't do a DNC I delivered a 6 oz lost baby I also had a one year old already so they don't know why it happened in the first place I hope you have already heard better news from a professional...I hope no one ever has to go through that

I am about 6 weeks pregnant and have been bleeding for four days, this is my second pregnancy and I had no bleeding durring the first, on the first day it was like a consistant spotting and I was out of town, it got worse the second day and I went to the er. They saw a heartbeat and said my left ovary was a little inflamed, it is still getting worse everyday like a heavy period and I am now having bad cramps and clotting. I don't have insurance yet and my first apt isn't till the 12th. Also I have lost my I'd so they will not see me last minute without it before filing medicaid. Research shows miscarriage percentage is low and bleeding happens often? I'm not sure what to do.

hello.  I have several questions for you if you don't mind.  I think I may have conceived in May, not sure I'm pregnant.   June period 1 week and a half late.  Full period lasting 7 days.  It was different in that I usually have a break around the fourth day where I will only spot lightly, and then a day with no spotting and then another day of light spotting and then its all over.  
Well my period in June did not have that break I bled heavily up until the 7th day where I spotted only. About two weeks after I think I conceived in May I had an episode where I woke up and ate some cereal and gagged immediately after completing the meal.  However I did not throw up.  My second period now in July is similar to that of my first period except that its not late. Todays is the fifth day and although I am not having heavy bleeding its still more than it would usually be prior to believing I had conceived.  I have only taken on test which came back negative.  I am confused and worried.  This would be my first conception, but I also had a dream prior to my first period when a strange man told me that my baby was going to gush from my body in four days.  I had my period maybe four or five days later.  I did not really pay attention to the date of the dream.  My body has changed in that I am usually cold and now I am hot all the time.  My nose seems a little wider to me, I have not mentioned to anyone else, my husband thinks I am obsessing about being pregnant so he does not believe what I am telling him.  Also the linea negra (that I have always had) has a curve in it at the top on my stomach.  I have never noticed it to have a curve before.  I am quite familiar with my body.  How can I find out if I am pregnant?

It actually could be an actual period, according to my OBGYN. It's happening to me right now. I'm in my third month and every month I shed the lining of my uterus that isn't  being used by the baby. It's very confusing but happens. I'm a heavy bleeder, but these periods have been very light since its not shedding the whole lining.

I BELIEVE AND SUPPORT YOU, JUST BECAUSE PEOPLE DON'T RELATE IT DOESNT MEAN IT ISNT POSSIBLE, GOD IS THE CREATOR AND HE DECIDES WHAT HAPPENS AND WHY, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE DOCTORS AND "PROFESIONALS" SAID SOMEBODY'S GNA DIE AND THEN TEN YEARS LATER THE PERSON IS STILL ALIVE TO TELL THE TAIL ABOUT THE 'INCORRECT ASSUMPTION.

ppl nt need to be up on here crushing true life testimonies, I mean cant you ppl see this lady just said she's known THREE people that had healthy pregnencies and babies while on their periods....

THIS IS NOT THE PLACE TO BE IF YOU UNCERTAIN ABOUT SOMETHING, its all a miture of uncertain potentially damaging advice from some people who are plain insesitive and nieve.
