| No. Menstruation is the shedding of the lining of the uterus after ovulation when a woman does not become pregnant. So, it is not possible to have a period and be pregnant. But it is possible to be pregnant and have vaginal bleeding that may seem to be a period.
Vaginal bleeding during pregnancy is not unusual, but it might signal a problem with the pregnancy. Bleeding happens to one out of five pregnant women. The causes vary and depend on how long a woman has been pregnant. A pregnant woman who discovers that she has vaginal bleeding should contact her health care provider, immediately.
Bleeding during pregnancy means an evaluation needs to be done. The evaluation may include physical exam, sonogram, and blood work. Only through evaluation will the health care provider be able to determine the likely cause of the bleeding and what a woman’s options are. Many times the solution for stopping the bleeding is bed rest and no sex.
Sometimes, hospitalization is needed, depending upon how long a woman’s been pregnant and whether the pregnancy is wanted. Regardless of the cause and recommended management, your health care provider will want to follow you closely until the bleeding has stopped for some time. In some cases, intensive follow-up is necessary until delivery.
