Can you get your period while pregnant?

No, it is not possible to have a period while pregnant. Bleeding or spotting at this time is usually caused by the normal hormonal changes of pregnancy, implantation bleeding or physiological changes in the cervix in preparation for childbirth.

It is important to monitor the bleeding and consult a doctor whenever it is heavy or painful. If in doubt, it is best to see a doctor in case there could be a serious situation.
