bleeding during first trimester

**hawthorne** · 12-09-2011 05:27 PM

I took a home pregnancy test three weeks ago and it was positive. Two weeks ago I went to a clinic and took another test, also positive. Now I have been bleeding, not spotting, but bleeding like a period, with cramps, medium flow, some small clots, for three days. I have an aunt who says she had her period for the first three months of her pregnancy. Also, I determined the date of conception and I had a similar period just AFTER that date--just like this one, cramping, medium flow, small clots. How is it possible that I am still pregnant with this much blood coming out of me, two months in a row? Or am I having a miscarriage? any advice appreciated. Thanks!

you should probably get that checked soon just to be safe. I was 6 weeks pregnant and i started having slight bleeding then i started having severe cramps and heavy bleeding and i ended up miscarrying =(

From the confirmed date of conception, you have had your period and still pregnant, it is possible you are experiencing the same as your aunt.
It is also possible for women to still have normal periods throughout their full pregnancy.

I know this for a fact because a girl I know, went in to labour one day without even knowing that for the last 9months she was pregnant. She still had her monthly period and no weight gain or bump! Hard to believe, I know.
