I'm almost 5weeks and 5days ago I started my period it wasn't a miscarriage because I still have pregnancy symptoms.

Pregnant women can still get periods. You could also have miscarried, sorry. There's no way to tell you online.

I respectfully disagree with my colleague. Pregnant women do NOT have periods, however they may have bleeding in the early stages of pregnancy, and some even bleed through pregnancy, but this is not a period and can be caused by a number of things.

As far as a miscarriage, it is still possible that you have pregnancy symptoms immediately after a miscarriage. To know for sure what is going on with you, you will need to visit your OB for a proper diagnosis.

Yes, I stand corrected - bleeding, not periods.

I started bleeding very lightly early in the pregnancy with my first child, and a few times throughout. I saw a doctor the first time it happened but was assured everything was fine. The other times I didn't see a doctor, but probably should've to check. Still I gave birth to a healthy boy..

With my fourth pregnancy I started bleeding again, and wasn't so worried at first. However the bleeding continued and at times was heavier than what it had been with my son.. I eventually called the medical centre and was advised to come straight in for any bleeding during pregnancy. I was 11 weeks at the time. I was sent for scans, and had a moderate peristaltic heamotoma. I was told they just didn't know with this one, how it would turn out. I was ordered at least two weeks of complete rest with feet up. I bled for over 3 weeks, as I didn't go straight to the doctor, but rested until the bleeding stopped, not even lifting a milk bottle & only getting up to go to the toilet. It was difficult to do, and seemed like forever, but I was lucky to have the support of my partner and mother.. My gorgeous baby girl arrived 5 days early, in January of this year.

Go see a doctor, the thought may be scary, but if I hadn't gone I would've lost my little girl.
