Can you have periods when pregnant?
Here's why:
* Pregnancy is defined by the presence of a fertilized egg implanted in the uterus. A period is the shedding of the uterine lining when fertilization doesn't occur.
* During pregnancy, the hormone progesterone prevents the shedding of the uterine lining. This is crucial for providing a safe and nourishing environment for the developing baby.
* Some women may experience light bleeding or spotting in early pregnancy. This can be caused by implantation bleeding or hormonal fluctuations. However, it is not a true period.
If you are experiencing bleeding during pregnancy, it is important to contact your doctor immediately. It could be a sign of a problem and needs to be evaluated.
