    hi everyone

    well we have had a terrible day today May was up at 5:30am and then catnapped and was really unsettled for most of the day hasnt slept any longer then 5-20mins finally went down around 5pm for a decent sleep and still sleeping now.
    i am not sure weather she has started teething as last 2 days has had this redish cheek(which last DD always gets when teething) and really trying to bite on anything she can get her hands on (which i know is also a usual thing for babies this age anyway) DS started teething same age and had teeth by 4 1/2 months so i know it can be possible.
    but then i am not sure if it is a growth spurt as she is feeding alot more then usual anyway so not 100% sure which one it is atm. Hopefully our night isnt the same as today.

    Quick question i know alot of you are breastfeeding but just wondering i have had one AF since having M which was last month and am due now well a little over due i think do you think it is normal for it to be abit late after first cycle back? as i have only had one normal cycle since giving birth.
    I guess i am just being to much of a worry wart as i am scared of getting pregnant again its not like we have dtd a whole lot and when we have we have been very careful as we are waiting for the snip to be done and Dp dosent have an appointment till next month earliest he could get we have been waiting 3 months now hopefully we dont have to wait to much longer after the appointment i cant wait till its done so i dont have to worry so much about falling pregnant again.
    i am hoping everytime i go the toilet AF will be here but not yet.
    ok enough babbling from me just needed to ask what you ladies think i cant remeber really after the others whether it was on time after first cycle etc.
    takecare and hope you are all having a great weekend

    hi all
    just a quick one as I have a ton of housework to do. Cap, after having A I had 1 period at 4 months and then didn't get another one until she dropped to 2 feeds a day at 12 months. Then I only had 2 which were about 35 days apart and then got preg with E. I wouldn't worry too much, I think if you're bfing they can come and go.

    Cap - With Tiana I was breastfeeding and they came back at about 10 weeks and then was regular. However I am sure that it wouldn't be uncommon for it to be out of sorts for a while. Maybe do a test to ease your mind. Stressing about it will hold it off longer!

    While on the subject - TMI Warning - The last 24 hours I have had blood tinged CM. Could this be the start of my period again? I thought the first one back was heavy and this is so far not developing into anything? Any ideas?
