Hello all.
I came with a question about periods during pregnancy. I've heard that there are a lot of women who don't initially even know they're pregnant because they still have what appears to be periods that come on time and don't seem any different.
I ask because people keep telling me I should test as I've had a few pregnancy type symptoms over the past few weeks (nausea, vomiting, severe bloat (to the tune of 8kg in weight), craving particular foods, I've gone sex mad (which for me is huge, I'm not that sexual a person), fatigue but also insomnia, body pains, lower abdomen cramping, major emotional moodiness, and omg pimples, I DON'T get pimples, like, ever... And now I'm breaking out in them. At least 2 on my face and several on my body, for a few days I'll be off my food but then be ravenous) but I had a period of sorts... my periods usually average 3 to 4 days, this one lasted maybe a day and a half?
And most of that blood was brownish old stuff not red blood. I'm just waiting it out but I thought I'd ask..
Because I seriously don't understand how a bleed can happen in a pregnancy without losing the baby. It confuses me that this is even possible. Can anyone explain?
Gah.
Thankyou
