Hi gals,
I had my daughter via emerg c/s at the end of August, and i expressed until she was 7 weeks old, she is now 3 and a half months old and no af as yet.
Im curious as to how long after a c/s did af return for some of you? I know this will depend on things like breastfeeding etc and that there is no real time frame but i just want a general idea.
Thanks,
Lisa
After all my babies , 1 natural and 3 c.s. well not including this bub but the last 3 my AF has come exactly 4 weeks after my PP bleeding stopped..
Af returned for me with Tehya when she was 10 months old. I was fully breastfeeding her at the time too. With Noah I think it was at around 8 months after his birth.
Wow Nic, you don't get much of a break.
I had an emergency CS with dd1 and too bf for 7wks. From memory i got AF back about 5weeks after stopping BFing.
No Trish I sure don't. I always felt ripped off too :lol:
with my first emergency C I bf till 6 weeks and got af 6 weeks after giving birth (2weeks of pp bleed) with my 2nd I bf till she was 11 months but I can't remember when I got af!! :lol: I'll try and remember this time round.
Same here:
Hi, i had a c section with DS, i had PP bleeding for 3 months, then got af back at 4.5 months!
Poor DF was very frustrated !! not as much as me though i should have bought shares in stayfree!
Thanks gals :D well i think ill just wait it out its been about 7weeks since I stopped bf so im sure its around the corner! Well I hope ;)
Kim - I dont have much time for BB anymore, not because I dont love it, but with DD and helping DH with his business, I have a dying FIL and had a sick brother for a while (he is getting better thank god!) so ive had my hands full. Hope all the little August munchkins are thriving!
I have had 2 C/S and AF arrived almost exactly 3 months later with both children, even while I was still BFing.
Everybody's body is different and there really isn't any rule of thumb...I think the longer she doesn't make a visit the better (I guess that is only if you aren't planning of TTC again soon).
Mine came back 3 months afterwards, which was not long after I started to comp feed DS.
OMG!! Blakesmummy that's so cruel!! you poor thing:
Hi, i had a c section with DS, i had PP bleeding for 3 months, then got af back at 4.5 months!

Oh Kim, your TTC again! Good luck sweety!
Still no af and Alex is almost 4 months old, not that I really want AF, just curious as we dtd a couple of times without contraception :( so i was just wondering how long I should wait for it, and no we are definatley not TTC again. I want to wait until Alex is about 1, but oh well, whatever will be will be!
