Can you menstruate while pregnant? Why is bleeding?

-

Many women wonder if they can have the rule while pregnant. It is usual that this doubt arises, since they can appear stained or bleeding at different times of pregnancy. Although it is usually not serious to have a small loss, it is advisable to consult a specialist in case it could indicate a problem in pregnancy.

It is not possible to be pregnant and have menstruation at the same time, although it is common to experience small vaginal bleeding that has nothing to do with menstrual periods.

About 30% of women suffer blood loss during pregnancy, especially in the first trimester, although it is not uncommon at other times. In fact, approximately one in 200 pregnant women manifest vaginal bleeding also in the second and third trimesters.

Can you menstruate while pregnant? Why the bleeding?

Why is there no menstruation during pregnancy?

Menstruation is the peeling of the endometrium, that is, the process by which the endometrium detaches from the uterine walls as a consequence of the lack of fertilization of the ovule.

The brain sends hormonal signals to the ovary so that, in the event of fertilization and subsequent implantation of the embryo, the uterine endometrium does not detach and develop properly to house, nourish and protect the baby. For this same reason, during pregnancy there is no desquamation of the endometrium, that is, there is no menstruation.

If there were normal menstrual periods, it would mean that the woman is discarding the uterine membrane in charge of feeding the baby and therefore the baby could not develop, so she would end up losing the pregnancy.

Menstruation and pregnancy are not compatible
