    AF while pregnant?

    Not sure if this is where I should be asking this question, but I have had three mild AF's which were shorter than average....making me think I am not pregnant. Yet my body appears to be pregnant by the change in body shape (bloated out big time).

    I suppose my question is:

    Did any of you get AF yet you were actually pregnant?

    I have a drs appointment this Friday for bloodwork etc.

    Thanks ladies.

    My aunt got hers until she was I think 5 months pregnant. The only way she found out she was pg was she got kicked in the stomach by a cow & when the doctor checked her out they discovered her pregnancy.

    I had a low lying placenta with DD1 and bleed all the way through my pregnancy. My sisters bestfriend's cousin had AF all the way through her pregnancy,Didn't even know she was pregnant until she went to the hospital with severe stomach and lion pain (lol, loin pain), lol a big suprise, lol. She had broken up with her partner 6 months previously and both had moved on. Personaly I never got how she didn't know I knew from when
    I concieved, lol, ask my husband, he'll tell you I'm psychic, I just know my body.

    I got AF 4 weeks after stopping BC (which was 9 weeks ago) I'm now 9 weeks PG. I was expecting to get AF days after stopping BC as I had waited till 3 days short of the end of the packet. I was surprised that AF was not heavier or longer (it was similar to being on BC). I have not had any further bleeding

    A big thank you to each of you who replied! I'm just at a loss as to why I am bloated like I am. We will be happy if I am pregnant, and fine if I am not.....but we will know more come Friday!

    Thanks again ladies. I appreciate the help. I'll keep you updated on what's going on.
