Doctors: Pregnancy While Having A Period Is Not Possible
Thankfully, Nydia’s baby, Román, is completely healthy. But is pregnancy while having a period really possible? After all, when she posted the video, many women resonated with her experience.
According to experts, pregnancy while having a period is not possible². Menstruation occurs because the ovary released an egg, and fertilization didn’t occur. When fertilization occurs, the fertilized egg will implant itself in the womb, resulting in pregnancy.
In other words, pregnancy and menstruation cannot occur together.
Nydia May Have Been Experiencing Spotting
Pregnancy while having a period is not possible, but doctors say, women could experience spotting or bleeding.
There are several possible causes of bleeding during pregnancy. For instance, bleeding within 10 to 14 days may be due to implantation, when the fertilized egg attaches itself to the uterus. During the 2nd and 3rd trimesters, bleeding could be due to problems with the cervix³.
Of course, there are also instances when bleeding signifies other serious concerns, such as ectopic pregnancy, placenta previa, preterm birth, or miscarriage.
