    Period & Pregnancy

    Ok, so just curious as I ALWAYS feel awkward discussing this with my doctor, almost always forget with a midwife..

    My first two pregnancies I still got my period the entire way through, not entirely sure how this happened, but the first time when I did explain it to the midwife, she wasn't concerned, the second time they said they would discuss it later but then we all kinda forgot..

    My question is, what do you think is happening if I STILL get AF whilst pregnant (baby still there, it's been checked before, have been no drama's and it comes same time but instead of my usual exact 5 days it's only 3 days)? Also, because I still get AF (or something that appears like it) do you think this means that I'm still ovulating like normal? if so, would I actually be able to conceive another baby at some stage during the pregnancy??

    Just curious.. I will try and remember to hound my midwife for answers about it.. I just got told it's extremely unusal but nothing more really.. However I do think this could be the reason for having miscarriages..

    Not sure of the answer, but my aunty always had AF whilst she was pregnant (but was told she couldn't have kids, no clue she was Preg until she delivered)!

    With DD I never knew until I was 7 months and felt movement, and I didn't even show until 8 months.. Hmmm, I was also told I wouldn't be able to have kids.. So thats a interesting similarity there..
