Periods while pregnant?

Question

Hi there - just curious if anyone has ever continued to have their period while pregnant? I've known a couple of people who still had their period then found out they were pregnant! Would love to hear anyone else's stories.

Answer

It's not impossible to have a period whilst pregnant at all. 
Some women continue to have one every month like normal. Some pregnancies go unnoticed because of that reason. I know someone who had periods throughout.

Answer

It's not a period, a period is when your uterus cleans itself out because there is no fertilized egg....bleeding during pregnancy cannot be a period, if your uterus cleans itself out while your are pregnant it causes a miscarriage

Answer

It's impossible to get a period when pregnant. If you're bleeding down there it's from something else but it's not your uterus shedding its lining. Kinda impossible... There's a baby in there it doesn't need to shed smh

Answer

Mt friend found out she pregnant she 40 and doctor told her she could have periods her whole pregnancy because of her age

Answer

I came across this other online forum that seems to suggest having a "period" while pregnant isn't entirely impossible:
