can you get your period when you are pregnant

It is biologically impossible to have a true menstrual period while pregnant. A period occurs when the uterine lining sheds because there is no fertilized egg implanted. In pregnancy, the uterine lining is maintained to support the embryo, so menstruation does not occur. However, it is common for some women to experience vaginal bleeding or spotting during pregnancy, which can be mistaken for a period. This bleeding may be light or heavier and could happen due to implantation, hormonal changes, or other pregnancy-related reasons, but it is not a true menstrual period. If bleeding occurs during pregnancy, it is important to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any complications.
