    hmmm maybe
    I'm working with a young girl who is 15 weeks and "claims" that she didn't know she was pregnant until 3 days ago. She "claims" she didn't know cause she had a "period" just that it was lighter and shorter.
    I didn't know if this could happen or not. I didn't question her because for all i know she could be telling the truth... i just thought i'd ask all you knowledgable people

    I have heard of people still having periods whilst preg. but when i think of the a&p side they aren't relaly periods...
    I use to work with a woman who was sick as a dog for 7 months, saw specilists and doctors and no one could work out what was wrong with her, until some smart person gave her a pg test. she took one right at the start and was neg so didnt think anymore of it. but turns out she was preg...and yea didnt know til 7 1/2 months in

    I was told its pretty common to have a breakthrough bleed in the first 3-6 months of pregnancy, especially at 3 months and 6 months, something to do with hormones??
    I had a bleed at 9 wks, spotted for 5 days straight then stopped.
