I'm glad you took the time to write in with such an important question. Unfortunately, the answer to both of your questions is yes. It's not uncommon for women (particularly young women) to be 3 or 4 months pregnant before she knows it. It is also not unusual for a woman to continue spotting, or having what looks like a period, through the pregnancy. I would strongly suggest that a woman who continues to spot through her pregnancy stays closely connected to her doctor to make sure there's no problem. I hope this was helpful to you. Pease feel free to write back if you have any further questions. Take care and be well.
