On the internet many women on forums claim that they had monthly periods or heavy bleeding while they are pregnant, is that possible?

Specializes in Obstetrics and Gynecology

Preg bleed: Any bleeding during pregnancy needs to be evaluated promptly by your doctor. About 50% of women experience some degree of bleeding in early pregnancy making it very common but not normal. Most are fine but sometimes bleeding can indicate a tubal pregnancy or miscarriage. Get checked.
