To my knowledge women don’t have periods when they’re pregnant. How come some don’t find out they’re pregnant till several months into the pregnancy? My mother said she still had her periods for 5 months when she was pregnant with my sister. How is that possible?

It’s pretty common to have some light bleeding during the first trimester. Someone might mistake this for a very light period.
Other people have very irregular periods and might go months between them, in that case not getting one for awhile might not seem unusual. One thing that often causes this is PCOS.
Doctors often tell women with PCOS that it will be very difficult for them to get pregnant, so it makes sense that women might not expect an accidental pregnancy under these circumstances.
Combine that with the fact that not every pregnancy comes with crippling symptoms and you can end up in a situation where someone is only finding out mid second trimester.
I have no idea how anyone makes it full term without knowing though. That has to involve a huge amount of denial.
