Today, a senior girl in my college-level biology course asked our professor what periods are like when you’re pregnant. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, while teaching my kindergarten class, I had a feeling I was starting my period again. A boy in the class asked me what a period was. Stressing over my own, I briefly told him it's a woman's time of the month when they have mood swings. He was asking about the dot at the end of a sentence. FML
Today, I had the misfortune of getting my period during another exam. And yes, the male professor also noticed this time. FML
Today, in history class, we were talking about Ancient Rome, and what childbirth would have been like back then. One girl asked in all seriousness why they didn't use ultrasound machines to see what sex their babies were. I have to deal with people like this on a daily basis. FML
Today, I told my friend I hadn't had a period in 5 months. She asked me if I was pregnant. When I asked her if I looked 5 months pregnant, she replied, "Is that supposed to be a trick question?" FML
Today, at my job as a second grade teacher, I was explaining to my students how I'm pregnant and will have to take a break from teaching after I have my baby. One of my students replied with "Ooooooooohhh Ms. Johnson had sex!" FML
Today, while my teacher was demonstrating how to use the ultrasound equipment, we all figured out that I'm pregnant. FML
Today, my mother and I went to a meeting at my school about a camping trip the students in my grade will be going on. When the time to ask questions came, my mother raised her hand and loudly asked, "What if my child is on their period during the trip?" FML
Today, while writing a midterm, my period came unexpectedly. Too bad my male professor was the one to notice and not me. FML
Today, I got my period. 10 minutes into a 3 hour exam. Apparently they are serious when they say you may not leave the room under any circumstances. FML
Today, as a natural science teacher, I was drawing a uterus on the class chalkboard. One of my students started messing around and being noisy, so I shouted, "Be quiet and check out my uterus!" FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

When pregnancy happens women actually get some spotting during the implantation period and many mistake it for a period. This might be what she may have been referring to and it doesn’t make anyone stupid for asking about it.

I recently taught a 36 y/o woman that you don't have to remove your tampon every time you go pee. Life must be so hard for her...

Did somebody answer "non-existent"?

Some women actually do continue to get their period during pregnancy, so a valid question in that case.

We don’t know her situation, that may have been something she should have learn before this class but didn’t. But she’s in school to learn and she asking questions. That’s all we can do ask questions and learn.

It’s actually a valid question. Some women do experience periods while being pregnant. For example My mother had a regular period with all of her children. However a friend of mine had a regular period during only one of her pregnancy. But my sisters never experience any periods during their pregnancies. I have had a friend that also had occasional random spotting during her pregnancy. Everyone’s body is different and we all have different reactions. So her question honestly didn’t deserve a fml.

it's sad that you had to post that here to find out it's actually possible for women to go through that.
