When you are pregnant your body creates more blood because of the added blood vessels. When your heat is already working that hard to pump that increased blood flow, it's not a good idea to give blood because then your already strained heart has to work even harder to replace the lost blood.

Sometimes, you CAN bleed while you are pregnant, but of course, it is not considered a period.

Go take a pregnancy test just in case :]
