    Is she pregnant?
    Could my mom be pregnant? She's 50 she still gets her period but sometimes twice in a month, she hasn't really had any symptoms but she is gaining weight in her stomach, she always had a big stomach though, but today she said to me that she couldn't zip through one of her jeans. She had a miscarriage when she was around 35, but she didn't even know she was pregnant at the time.

    Why not? If she is still having her monthly cycle, and we must assume she is having sex. Of course she could.

    If she is still having periods, she "can" get pregnant, although it's not common at 50. If she is still having them now, it would be very unlikely that she is. The vast majority of the time, regular bleeding stops when pregnant.

    It's common for women to start putting on some more weight around their middle when they are older. If it is a noticeable difference, in a relatively short period, she might want to see her doctor to determine if there is a cause other than normal weight gain.

    Why not just ask her?
