    No... you can have some bleeding in pregnancy which can be mistaken for a period, but you won't technically have a period. Usually it will, in some way, be different from the norm... lighter or shorter, come at an off time, but for a small percentage any difference won't be noticed.

    This wasn't a true period. This most likely was caused by placental lie. A true period is caused by ovulation and no fertilization, thus shedding the uterine lining. The uterine lining cannot be shed during pregnancy.

    There are many reasons for bleeding during pregnancy, but it is not a true period.
