During Pregnancy the uterus gets totally focused on protecting and nourishing the growing foetus. This means it can't receive eggs as usual because the hormones sent to release the eggs, are being redirected to develop a baby. So, figuratively speaking, it sends out a busy signal. During pregnancy, your body temporarily halts ovulation and stops shedding the lining of the uterus. As a result, you don't have your period. After the baby is born, the body's natural cycle of ovulation returns, and your period returns as well.
