you usually do not have a period, however i have heard of babies delivered where one was a premmie and the other full term. son impregnation was probably two different acts a month or two apart

but usually this is a sign of break thru bleeding from a implantation or perhaps signs of danger of miscarrage

Oh, it's very possible. I've known women to have periods right on through the entire pregnancy.

True story, witnessed by my own baby hazels: I went to work one day and glanced in one of the treatment rooms as I walked in, the lady was sitting up and leaning back, sort of a reverse tripod. I thought "pregnant", but when I got report it was of a woman with back pain. A little while later we heard a gawd-awful screaming, and all of us ran in there and found a newborn on the gurney, still attached to mom.

This was her third child. Her first pregnancy was textbook. Second one: she missed two periods and figured she must be pregnant so she went to the doc. (This was back when home tests weren't that accurate, so she didn't bother.) The doc told her she was already at term! She delivered within weeks. This time, she missed one period. Remembering what happened the last time, she made an appt with her OB, but started having back pain before she got in. My initial assumption had been correct, even though she wasn't sure if she was preggers or not. She wasn't having plain old back pain, she was in labor.

Little weight gain, no nausea, never felt movement.....nothing.

Absolutely.... I didnt miss my period with either of my pregnancies, hence I didnt find out til I was about 3 months along....
