Can You Get Your Period And Still Be Pregnant?

Uh! I want to know what it means to be bleeding when you are pregnant. I am pregnant and I am 25 years old. I did not choose for this to happen. I just want to know if it is possible to be menstruating in spite the fact that you are pregnant. Can you get your period and still be pregnant? I know that you are not suppose to be bleeding or having regular periods when you are pregnant. The bleeding happened onmy due date. Could there be something wrong with the test, or is normal? I read about bleeding during pregnancy, it is known as spotting right? It is supposed to be in a very less amount. I am not bleeding to heavily, but enough for me to think they are periods?
