Not normally: A period signifies your egg did not get fertilized and implanted, so your uterine lining is sloughing off and preparing for the next cycle. See our gyn for routine evals, or sooner if you have any concerns.

Yes: Not uncommon for some women to have periods for the first one or two months of pregnancy. That is why you can sometimes be off on your dates for delivery.

See below: 30% of pregnant women experience implantation bleeding at about the time they would expect their period. They mistake this bleeding as their period, when in fact, it isn't.
