A period will not be the cause of any bleeding during pregnancy. When a woman is pregnant, she does not continue to ovulate and will not have a period.
Menstruation only occurs when a person is not pregnant. Although it is possible for women to experience some bleeding during pregnancy, this will not be due to their menstrual cycle. Some women also do not have any periods while breast-feeding. However, they may still begin to ovulate again soon after giving birth. Therefore, doctors may recommend some form of birth control while a woman is breast-feeding if she does not wish to get pregnant. The menstrual cycle occurs to facilitate pregnancy.
Ovulation , when the ovary releases an egg, occurs midway through the cycle. An egg is only viable for about 12—24 hours after a woman ovulates. If sperm cells are present and able to fertilize the egg, the egg will implant itself in the uterus, resulting in pregnancy.
If there is no fertilization, menstruation will occur, and the body will shed the uterine lining so that it can begin making a new one for the next cycle. Although a woman will not have a period when she is pregnant, she may still experience some bleeding.

If you think you might be pregnant and have pain or bleeding, call the doctor right away. If you are not sure if you are pregnant, see a doctor, visit a health clinic like Planned Parenthood, or use a home pregnancy test. It's also associated with unilateral pain, dizziness, or lightheadedness, says Dr. Ectopic pregnancy can be life-threatening if untreated, so rapid diagnosis is key.
Hakakha, other reasons you might see bleeding during the first trimester are a subchorionic hemorrhage a blood clot that forms behind the developing placenta , a cervical infection, placenta previa when the placenta implants and grows over the cervix , or benign cervical polyps. During the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, bleeding can also result from vasa previa where the blood vessels of the placenta are in an abnormal location and cross over the cervix , a placental abruption where the placenta begins to pull away from the wall of the uterus prematurely, or labor, says Dr.
Although bleeding in pregnancy is common, it's never normal, explains Dr. If someone is pregnant and bleeding, with or without pain, they should call their doctor for further instruction.
