Hi, I heard somewhere that even though you are pregnant, you can still bleed. Now i'm not sure if this is true or not, but I just wanted to make sure. Is this kind of bleeding, caused by umbelical cord attachment i've heard, usually light or heavy? Heavy as in... even with pad, the blood got on the bedsheets.

The bleeding you are probably refering to is called implantation bleeding. This is generally very light, scant bleeding, nothing like a normal period bleed. Think of it more as spotting.
