Well, it looks like 6 weeks post birth for me...
I am breastfeeding approx every 3 hours, sometimes she goes 4 and once she went 6, but ONCE! I was worried as DTD seemed to start the bleeding but now my usual AF signs have appeared and the bleeding is slightly heavier and i am resigned to it being the return of the dreaded witch! At least i don't suffer too much - after labour pains my AF cramps make me LAUGH!
THis would explain the tendency in my family to concieve easily - Mum had her first 3 kids in 3 years! SHe got PG within 3 months both times, while fully breastfeeding! Ho hum - i was hoping for a few more months off as well!
Does anyone else panic a bit at the blood? It's just that after the whole PG of not wanting to see blood (after 2 M/C's) and then the blood after birth being associated with this massive event, the birth of my child, it feels like AF is no longer a normal part of my life and when i see the blood i have to remind myself that it's a good sign, my body is healthy! This is excusable except that with my poor confuddled breastfeeding brain, i panic EVERY time i go to the loo! LOL!
