“Can you bleed like a period in early pregnancy?”
I am a 25 year old female. I wonder if you can bleed like a period in early pregnancy?

You can. But I would discuss this with your doctor. You will need confirmation that the pregnancy is healthy. Concern having an OB ultrasound and blood pregnancy testing.
Hello,
You definitely can bleed like a period when you are pregnant. Actually, about 50% of all people bleed in the first trimester, and many bleed later in the pregnancy. I tell my patients that it is so common that it is almost normal.
I hope that this helps.

Yes but often it means something is wrong. Anyone having bleeding in pregnancy should be evaluated by a provider.

Yes, it can be a sign of a problem, but can also occur while the pregnancy is still doing well, you should contact your OB to have an evaluation and make sure the pregnancy is progressing well.
