Can I be pregnant and still have a period? Pregnant women can have some light irregular bleeding during pregnancy, but it should not be like a ânormalâ period. Some women can confuse this for their period because often it can come right around the time she was expecting her normal period. The irregular bleeding or spotting that can occur during pregnancy is often a dark brown or a light pinkish color. It should not be enough bleeding to fill pads or tampons over a few days.
No, it's not true! You can get pregnant before you have your first period, and many unplanned pregnancies happen just that way. To prevent pregnancy after you have your baby, you have to use birth control every time â even if you're breastfeeding. You're fertile around the time you ovulate, and you ovulate before you get your period, which can be anywhere from seven to 19 days before if you have a 28-day cycle, for example. You can get your period again from a month to over a year after having a baby.
