A member asked:

Ive heard its possible to still have a period at the beginning of pregnancy. is that true? if so would it be like a normal period?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some women: get implantation bleeding which sometimes goes unoticed until they wipe themselves in the bathroom other women do have a light bleeding. There have been cases where some women have had period-like bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy and some throughout pregnancy; but those are rare cases.
