*TMI*

Can I be getting my period already???????

Ds is now 15 days old, I?m not breastfeeding (loooong story ? sensitive about it ? took some hormone pills to stop the milk from coming in) and have only had some LIGHT spotting for 8 days now. But this morning I started bleeding (darkish red) a lot. Call me stupid, my period???? Already??? I was hoping for a month period-free ? at least

After DD1 birth i stopped bleeding round day 10 and day 16 or so i began bleeding again for 10 days....i fell preg a couple of weeks later (DD1 was 5 weeks old when i got the BFP) so its possible AF has returned!

I didn't realise either!!! Congratulations Nadine!!!

It could still be from your uterus contracting hun, I had a c/s with James and had bleeding and spotting for nearly 5 weeks before it stopped. I also had it for 6 weeks with Izzy so it may well be still from everything getting back to normal.

Fingers crossed its not AF for you.

I have breastfed both my DD and both times post natal bleeding stopped at about 3-4weeks and I got AF 2 weeks later. I was not happy I thought I I would get a bit longer without AF

Hi

Congrats on the birth of you baby! I think as you obviously do that it could be either...the lochia (after birth bleeding) can be a bit stop start but could also be af. I was thinking to that seeing as there are he hormonal changes with starting and stopping breast feeding that the pills that stop milk coming in would probably be like a strong hormonal way of if you slowly weaned, which is maybe why it came back so quick??? Not sure just a theory??

Just want to say I am sure no one will judge you if you feel you want to chat about your feeding journey, and if they are well thats their issue...us bb ladies are here whenever you're ready
