This is a stupid question???

Hi Everyone

This might be a stupid question but I do not know the answer.

Is it possible to be pregnant and still have periods.
As I am getting a lot bigger around the tummy and it does look like I am pregnant even my partner says it looks like I am.

It is possible - but pretty uncommon
The hormones that are produced during pregnancy are meant to stop the lining of the womb breaking down and thats why you dont have periods - some people have light bleeds at the time when their periods should be due for a few months but its not 'the norm'

It can happen but it's not common. The blood is often mistaken for a period but it is usually blood from the placenta which looks like AF. Take a test and if you're still concerned ask your GP for a blood test.
