A member asked:

Can you have light brown / pink blood during period but be pregnant?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: It is not uncommon for pregnant women to have some bleeding/spotting during the first trimester. Most commonly women can have some bleeding when the embryo implants in the uterus. However you should always follow up with your ob/gyn as bleeding during pregnancy can be a symptom of a problem.
