    Weaning

    I've weaned DD over the past week. I was feeling really excited about it. Its been over 5 years since the last time I wasn't pregnant or breastfeeding.
    But lately, I dunno. I'm not regretting the weaning, but I'm wondering if it'd be messing with my hormones. I had a really low night last night, over things I usually just deal with.
    So I'm wondering if its just my hormones & it'll settle soon, or if maybe its more...

    I think it's quite normal to experience ups and downs with the change in hormones. If you feel it's something more or that you need to talk to someone, then maybe see your GP or CHN?

    I agree with MadB, if it does get on top of you please speak to someone about it. When DD started weaning (she did it rapidly) my moods and depression plummeted. I imagine it must be a massive change in hormones to have your body going from making milk to not, especially 5 years of BFing or pregnancy like you have done.

    Thanks. I do need to get myself sorted out anyway. Just a reminder I guess.
