    AF while PG?

    Every now and then you hear those stories about women who have a 'surprise' birth - they go into the toilet thinking they are just feeling unwell and out pops a bub. The explanation you normally read for this is that they had their period while they were pregnant. I'm just wondering if this is even possible? Has anyone ever heard of or experienced this?

    (Not that we need even MORE excuses to POAS, hehe!)

    Yep, happened to my cousins wife. She was prg and didn't know it - took the pill and had her period regularly for 9 months. She collapsed on the kitchen floor in agony one day and her DH called an ambulance, the baby was born before they got there!

    AND this was her third!! None of us can work out how she didn't know. She is a larger girl, but not huge by any stretch and my aunty saw her the day before and swears black and blue that she did not look prg.

    A Belly Belly-er just recently announced her pregnancy and she had a definate AF, moderate flow enough to use tampons over a couple of days. She checked tho as TTC so found out a week after AF she was pregnant. I know it's weird how it can happen !!! As a consequence, I still do a HPT a week after AF !! how desparate am I
