Is Pregnancy a Symptom of Pregnancy?
Nesting is a not so well-known symptom among women, being popular among those who try tirelessly for signs that they have managed to get pregnant in that cycle. But it is not a symptom considered common and often goes unnoticed.
What is Nidation?
Nesting is the moment that characterizes the implantation of the embryo in the uterus . This factor occurs naturally one week after the ovulatory phase, which marks the beginning of a pregnancy (or 14 days before the menstrual period). During implantation, small bleeding may occur, in some cases imperceptible or mistaken for a menstrual leak. This bleeding is called nesting .
Nesting occurs in all women, but not all are able to detect the symptom. But if you noticed the presence of nesting, which is usually seen in panties or when cleaning after using the bathroom, wait a few days and do a pregnancy test to confirm. The closer to the day of your next period, the higher the concentration of HCG and the easier it will be to confirm.

Pregnant Menstruate?
As the first confident sign that a pregnancy may be happening, menstrual absence is always expected by women who are trying to conceive. But what if there are all the symptoms and you are menstruating, can it happen? Do you have a menstrual period?
We see several reports of women who discovered their pregnancy was already advanced and guarantee that they had their periods normally during the months. But we need to warn them that pregnant does not menstruate under any circumstances . The presence of this blood can be due to several other factors, but not due to the normal menstrual cycle, we will explain why.
The embryo’s fixation site inside the uterus is the endometrium and without it, it is impossible for a baby to develop healthily. In menstruation it is exactly the endometrium that is expelled through menstrual blood, so how can you be pregnant and a baby developing if there is no endometrium?
The causes of bleeding that can be mistaken for menstrual blood is the increase in hormone levels that can cause bleeding, but nothing intense, with a flow like that of a menstruation. If the bleeding is dark, it is indicative of low levels of progesterone and if you have the presence of large clots in bright red, it is increased levels of estrogen. If you are pregnant and have bleeding, you should see your doctor immediately, it is not normal!
My name is Dr. Alexis Hart I am 38 years old, I am the mother of 3 beautiful children! Different ages, different phases 16 years, 12 years and 7 years. In love with motherhood since always, I found it difficult to make my dreams come true, and also some more after I was already a mother.
Since I imagined myself as a mother, in my thoughts everything seemed to be much easier and simpler than it really was, I expected to get pregnant as soon as I wished, but it wasn’t that simple. The first pregnancy was smooth, but my daughter’s birth was very troubled. Joana was born in 2002 with a weight of 2930kg and 45cm, from a very peaceful cesarean delivery but she had already been born with congenital pneumonia due to a broken bag not treated with antibiotics even before delivery.
