silly question but i'm not really sure...

can you still get like a hmm..."light"period in the early stages of pregnancy????
Just curious

like spotting?

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 :)

My mum got to about 3 months when she discovered she was pg with my brother! and didnt show until 7 mths when she told her parents! and i was 9 weeks befor i knew i was pg first time! didnt know until the Dr discovered an ectopic!

It happens more than you think!

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.

Ok so maybe she wasn't just telling me this to make me think the didn't know...
Maybe she genuinly thought it was "normal" period???

I'm not at all trained in this area of work...LOL i only know what my pregnancy was like

Yup, my cousin went to the doc for gastro that wouldn't go away - found out she was 6 months pregnant, but her periods hadn't skipped a beat :)

Unfortunately a lot of 15 year olds these days are still very naive when it comes to sex and pregnancy, I wouldn't find it surprising she didn't know!
